The Core Strategy covers the whole District. It will set out the Council's overall spatial planning framework for the District in the period to 2026 and a long-term vision and objectives for the future development of South Bucks.
"Following the consultation held in January 2006 on the Core Strategy Issues and Options Paper (pdf file), the Council published the Core Strategy - Preferred Options Document for public consultation in September 2006.
The consultation period on the Core Strategy Preferred Options Document ended in October 2006 and over 140 responses were received. The Council analysed all of these comments and summarised them in a report. This can be viewed/downloaded below.

What happens next?
A number of the early core strategies submitted to the Government for independent examination elsewhere in the country were found to be 'unsound'. Those authorities involved had to withdraw their core strategies and start them again from scratch. This resulted in significant additional costs for these authorities as well as a delay of several years in their LDF timetables. South Bucks District Council reviewed its position on its Core Strategy and concluded that further work is needed on the Core Strategy before the submission to the Government. The Council has therefore undertaken further evidence studies and is looking at a wider range of options. Following this work, a new Core Strategy option papers will be published in early 2009, seeking views on alternative scenarios for the future of South Bucks.
