The preferred options consultation
After nearly two years of informal consultation on issues and options, these Preferred Options set out the city council’s choices. Key issues include the size of the city centre, growth of employment and housing, sustainable construction, open space provision, transport and connections to adjoining areas.
The public consultation on the preferred options ran from 16 April to 30 May 2007. A statement of the consultation activity undertaken to promote awareness and involvement in the preferred options is available. Also, a short and full summary of comments received are available.

What next
The next major step for the CCAAP is submissiion to the Secretary of State of the draft plan. The date for submission is currently unclear but should be set out in the Local Development Scheme to be agreed with Government Office in summer 2009. The Core Strategy is taking priority and may absorb some of the policy options of the CCAAP which would have resonance across the district.
