    NORTH CORNWALL LOCAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK Site Specific Allocations & Policies Preferred Options October 2007 © The content of this publication is copyright, but may be freely reproduced, disseminated and distributed provided that the original source is acknowledged in full. 1 Foreword The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 introduced major changes to the development plan system. Regional Spatial Strategies and Local Development Frameworks have replaced the old system of Structure and Local Plans. North Cornwall District Council welcomes the new system, which is intended to deliver quicker, more flexible and transparent plan preparation. The Council is committed to providing a high quality and responsive planning service that meets the needs of the community, and includes full community involvement and engagement. Our aim is to enable delivery of a Local Development Framework that is distinctive to North Cornwall, which can contribute to delivering the Community Strategy and the Council’s vision and corporate priorities. The Council has prepared a Site Specific Allocations and Policies Development Plan Document for public consultation and debate. It is published with the Generic Development Management Policies and Core Strategy Development Plan Documents. Together the documents present the Council’s preferred approach as to how, where and when development should occur in North Cornwall for the period to 2026. The consultation responses received to the preferred options Development Plan Documents will enable the Council to review and where appropriate revise its draft policies. As a consequence of Local Government Review it is unlikely that this document will be adopted as part of the North Cornwall Local Development Framework. Nevertheless the Council is committed to advance its preparation towards submission to provide a valuable platform for the process of plan making that will be undertaken by the new unitary Council of Cornwall.
