It considers how the issues are derived from the initial vision, from the context in which the plan will exist and from external influences including national guidance. It shows what the high level options for the way in which the plan will approach the future provision for the area may be, given the likely indicative scale of that provision. Finally, it considers the implications for the possible content of a LP in terms of the policy areas that need to be covered in order to address the issues that have been identified. 1.2 At this stage apart from the approval of the process and the endorsement of the vision and the issues that follow there are no expressed preferred option or options. This document supports an Issues and Options consultation that will inform the decision to be made in the light of the responses to consultation and any other evidence.
