The Issues and Options paper for the Core Strategy was consulted on between 17 March and 28 April 2008. It set out the planning vision and framework for the district over the next 10 - 15 years. The Borough Council will not be able to take this document forward to the next stage as work commences instead on preparing a Core Strategy for Cheshire West and Chester. The Core Strategy Issues and Options Paper and the responses to it will be important baseline documents as we move into Local Government reorganisation in Cheshire.
