The South Worcestershire Joint Core Strategy Preferred Options Paper Response Form September 2008

How to comment on the South Worcestershire Core Strategy Preferred Options What we have done Malvern Hills, Worcester City and Wychavon District Councils have joined together to produce a Joint Core Strategy for South Worcestershire which will provide the overarching planning policies for South Worcestershire until 2026. We have gathered evidence from a number of sources, and taken account of the comments which were made last autumn when we consulted on a range of Issues and Options for tackling the challenges facing South Worcestershire. As a result we have produced the Joint Core Strategy Preferred Options. Public Consultation on the Preferred Options will take place between Friday 19th September 2008 and Friday 31st October 2008.
