Core Strategy: Planning Southampton to 2026
(Also known as: Southampton Spatial Strategy )
The aim of the planning system is to achieve an excellent layout for developments such as buildings, parks and streets providing an attractive environment in which to live, work and enjoy. Successful planning produces a city which looks and feels good. In order for this to happen new development must be 'sustainable'. The Core Strategy is a major document that will form the overall spatial vision and development framework for Southampton looking towards 2026.

Details of service:
We have already sought initial views on the Core Strategy and gone out for two rounds of consultation in May - July 2006, and October - December 2006. Taking the comments received into consideration, we are now producing the final version of the Strategy that will be adopted in November/December 2009.
 | The intention of the plan is to help create a better Southampton and it will become a key part of all of the planning documents known as the 'Local Development Framework'. The plan is closely related to the draft City of Southampton Strategy, details are available from the Southampton Partnership website.

Request for information on potential development sites
For both the Core Strategy and the Site Allocations Development Plan we require information on potential development sites within the city. Please respond by the 21st of July 2008. The provision of this information will be important for formulating planning policies for the city. Under the new planning system it is important for you to engage early in the process as it is more difficult to consider requests for sites later in the production of the plans.
