Forest Heath Single Issue Review (SIR) of Core Strategy Policy CS7
Forest Heath's Core Strategy Local Plan was adopted in May 2010. Following a successful high court challenge in May 2011, parts of CS7 were quashed. Consequential amendments were also made to policies CS1 and CS13. The council has resolved to revisit those parts of the core strategy that had been 'quashed', and undertake a single issue review (SIR). This means that the council will follow the legislative processes and procedures from the first Issues and Options consultation stage. The council has resolved to undertake a re-assessment of their overall housing needs/numbers as part of this review process.
