Preface 1.1 This Allocations Plan (AP), together with the Core Strategy (CS) and the Area Action Plan for the Cinderford Northern Quarter will comprise the Local Plan for the Forest of Dean District. It looks forward to 2026 and provides policies which identify specific areas of land whether for protection or for development. Along with the other documents the Allocations Plan (AP) (formerly called Allocations development Plan Document, or ADPD) will ensure the delivery of development as envisaged for the benefit of the district. It should be read in conjunction with national guidance (principally the NPPF/ NPPG)(1) and may at a later date be supplemented by other planning policy documents including any "Made" Neighbourhood Development Plans (NDPs). 1.2 The main influence on the AP is the adopted (2012) Core Strategy (CS) and the aims and objectives of this are common to the AP. It follows that the allocations made are underpinned by common evidence although the evidence base for the AP is an extended and updated version of that used for the CS. This is primarily because of the greater level of detail needed to support the individual allocations. Included as evidence is more detailed material including where available assessments of individual settlements and Parishes which have been prepared by local councils. This supports the AP as a whole but more particularly the individual village and town chapters. Over time there is expected to be additional supporting material and this will be added to the evidence base and can then be used to further inform the operation and interpretation of the policies and proposals in the plan. In addition to a common but expanded evidence base the AP is subject to sustainability appraisal. This is really a process rather than a fixed assessment and it runs in parallel to the Plan itself, providing guidance and influencing its evolution. The basis of the assessment is that it takes the adopted CS as a starting point, and seeks to ensure that the best options for promoting the development of the district in an economic, social and environmentally sustainable manner are chosen. The inset maps throughout this document are for indicative purposes only. The Allocations Plan Map illustrates geographically the application of the policies in the Allocations Plan. The interactive version of the map which shows the proposals for the entire district is available via the link from the Allocations Plan web page at: http://www.fdean.gov.uk/nqcontent.cfm?a_id=7872&tt=graphic In the PDF version links (highlighted blue) have been inserted into the document, (eg the headings of policies and relevant text) if you click on these you will automatically navigate to the appropriate location on the Allocations Plan map.

Introduction 2.1 This Allocations Plan (AP) is complementary to the CS and must be read together with it. The introduction which follows explains these linkages more fully and the contents and scope of the Plan. Both plans cover the period to 2026.
