What is the Core Strategy?
The Core Strategy is the main planning document for guiding and managing new development and change in South Gloucestershire up to 2026.
The main purpose of the Core Strategy is to identify where new housing and jobs will go, as well as protecting what is valued about the area. The Strategy will also identify what services, facilities and infrastructure (such as green spaces, roads, public transport, schools, shops and health centres) are needed and when and how they will be achieved. In preparing the Core Strategy we have reflected the views of local people, groups and organisations, as well as those of the council.
