Consultation on the Core Strategy Preferred Strategy has now closed.

Consultation on the Core Strategy Preferred Strategy ran from 30 November 2009 to 22 January 2010. For information, the consultation documents are still available to download from the link at the bottom of this page and paper copies are also available from the Information and Advice Centre in Guildhall 2.

The responses have now been analysed and a report of the consultation can be found below. This information will be used to the inform the next stage in the development of the Core Strategy. The next formal consultation on the Core Strategy will be at the 'pre-submission publication' stage, likely to take place towards the end of 2010.

The Planning Inspectorate (PINS) provided a "critical friend " service to Local Planning Authorities working on their Local Development Frameworks and in particular their Core Strategies. In January 2010 Mary Travers of the Planning Inspectorate visited Kingston to consider progress made in the preparation of the Core Strategy, and to identify those matters and questions that seem potentially problematic at this stage in terms of the soundness of the document. A note of the visit is available below.
