LDF Core Strategy

 

Lewes District Council’s Core Strategy

The Core Strategy will be the pivotal document in Lewes District Council’s Local Development Framework (LDF) and will set out the over-arching strategies that all other documents in the LDF will need to be in conformity with.  A key purpose of the Core Strategy will be to set out a vision for Lewes District and identify the areas in the District where new development or change is to take place up to 2030.

The District Council is working in partnership with the South Downs National Park Authority (SDNPA) to prepare the Core Strategy, which will ultimately be a jointly adopted strategy covering the whole of Lewes District, including the area within the National Park boundary.

The Emerging Core Strategy consultation document is available for public consultation between 30 September 2011 and 11 November 2011.  Hard copies are available to view at the Planning Services Information Office at Southover House in Lewes and at local libraries.  Comments can be sent via email to ldf@lewes.gov.uk or by mail to the Planning Policy Team, Southover House, Southover Road, Lewes, BN7 1AB.
