  • Local Plan Preferred Options
    Cannock Chase District Local Plan Preferred Options February 2021 1. Non-Technical Summary INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Cannock Chase District Local Plan will guide and manage the development of the District during the period to 2038. The Local Plan will identify land to meet the needs of the economy and to ensure that a sufficient number of homes can be built. New development will be well-designed and safe, and will have good access to schools, health services, parks and green spaces, leisure facilities and other services. New development will be accommodated whilst protecting and enhancing the natural, built and historic environment. 1.2 The Council asked people for their views on what sort of things should be covered by the Local Plan through an ‘Issues and Options Consultation’ in May 2019. The responses to that consultation have been taken into account in the Local Plan ‘Preferred Options’ consultation document (spring 2021). The ‘Preferred Options’ document identifies the sites that could be suitable for new development, and sets out draft policies that could be used to guide and manage the development of the District. This document provides a summary of the Local Plan ‘Preferred Options’ consultation document. 1.3 The Council will consider the responses to the ‘Preferred Options’ consultation, before preparing a complete draft of the Local Plan. This will be called the ‘Pre-Submission (Regulation 19) Draft Local Plan’, and it will be published in winter 2021 for consultation. After that, the Local Plan will be submitted to the Secretary of State (Planning Inspectorate) for independent examination, probably over the summer 2022.

The need for this methodology stems from the increasing number of similar BIZ in Europe and the mobility issues encountered at them. These issues are generally similar between different European sites and they are mainly characterised by a very weak alternative to the private car for the home to work commute, resulting in a percentage of car use higher than 80%. The cause of this principally lies on two factors, the location of these BIZ in remote areas, meaning public transport links are weak and a lso on the employees themselves that demand flexibility in their transport options because of work needs. The aims of the Project are to: • Produce a ‘Boxed Solution’ methodology which can be transferred
