The Council is preparing its first ever Core Strategy which will set the framework for managing the future growth and development of the District up to 2026. The timetable for its production can be found in the Local Development Scheme.
As part of the process of preparing the Core Strategy, the Council has already consulted the public on the “Issues” which the Core Strategy must address, the “Options for Growth”, and most recently last year on the "Preferred Options" for how the Council manages future development in the District. Details of each of these consultations can be found below.
The Council are now working towards the preparation of its Draft Core Strategy, and are currently undertaking the following consultation on Alternative Sites.
Alternative Sites Consultation
In response to the "Preferred Options" consultation last year, a number of landowners have put forward alternative sites to meet future development needs. These sites have not previously been considered by the Council. In order for the Council to properly consider these sites before preparing its draft Core Strategy, they are being made available for public comment.
You can view and comment on the online version of the Alternative Sites Paper or download the printed version (3.6mb, PDF).
Alternatively, you can fill in an electronic version of the Questionnaire (86kb, MS Word) and email it to corestrategy@warwickdc.gov.uk, or you can fill the questionnaire in by hand and post it to: Gary Stephens, Development Services, Warwick District Council, P.O Box 2178, Riverside House, Milverton Hill, Royal Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, CV32 5QH, or fax it to 01926 456542.
Please note all responses must be completed/returned to the Council by the 9th April 2010.
Preferred Options
The Council published a Preferred Options Paper (2.3mb, PDF) for public consultation between July 3rd and September 25th 2009.
All responses have been input into our LDF consultation system where you can view a summary of each response. The Report of Public Consultation (286kb, PDF) provides an overview of the consultation and the comments received.
