Christchurch and East Dorset Site Specific Allocations DPD
Once the primary planning framework has been developed in the core strategy, the councils intend to begin work on a development plan document which will work towards delivering some of the key aspirations of the core strategy through land allocations.
This document will allocate sites for such uses as new housing sites, employment land, open space, and sites which offer important mixed development opportunities, for example in town centres.
Production of the Affordable Housing DPD
Work on this DPD will not begin until progress has been made on developing the Core Strategy. The proposed key stages of the Site Specific Allocations DPD are as follows (further details can be found in the Local Development Scheme).
- Issues & Options consultation: January - April 2009
- Preferred Options consultation: July - August 2009
- Submission: March - April 2010
- Adoption : Spring 2011
