Core Strategy Development Plan Document

The Core Strategy sets out the overall planning vision and framework for the city from 2006 to 2021 and beyond. Plymouth’s Core Strategy was formally adopted by Full Council on 23 April 2007.

The Core Strategy plays a key part in the delivery of Plymouth’s Sustainable Community Strategy by looking at all the parts that relate to spatial planning.

Spatial planning is about how land is used. It also looks at how places work, how people get around, the services available to them and the communities they are part of.

The Core Strategy includes an outline for delivering strategic development needs for Plymouth’s future, including housing, employment, leisure and retail. All other Development Plan Documents must conform to the Core Strategy and the Core Strategy must conform to the Regional Spatial Strategy.

The Core Strategy went through a number of stages whilst it was being developed:

• Issues and Options
• Preferred Options
• Key Changes
• Submitted
• Adopted (Inspectors report)
