Core Strategy

The Core Strategy is a key document in the Mid Sussex Local Development Framework. It is the over-arching document that sets the framework for all subsequent detailed documents. These documents need to be in conformity with the Core Strategy.

The Core Strategy sets out:

• The vision for Mid Sussex to 2026
• Core policies on general issues including the environment, settlement pattern, affordable housing, gypsies and travellers, town centres, shopping, employment, rural issues, community facilities, infrastructure and energy
• Housing strategy and broad locations for development

CORE STRATEGY : PRE-SUBMISSION DOCUMENT

The 'Pre-Submission' Core Strategy Document was published for a statutory six-week consultation period between 7th February and 20th March.  It included a number of options for the location of new development, including large-scale housing sites, and a range of other potential policies relating to the location and nature of future development in Mid Sussex.  The publication of this document gave everyone the opportunity to contribute to shaping the future of the District over the next 18 years.
