Strategic Sites
Bromsgrove District Council is currently
developing a Core Strategy that will
deliver the District’s vision and aspirations and provide a
framework for guiding change up to 2026. Whilst Core Strategies are
not generally site specific documents
PPS12 states that strategic sites can be allocated providing
that they are fundamental to the delivery of the Strategy.
The purpose of these documents is to identify
the most appropriate growth strategy for Bromsgrove District that
could deliver 4,000 homes by 2021. This will mean considering all
of the different growth options that are a realistic possibility
for the District. In accordance with PPS12 it is necessary to
consider all reasonable alternatives when determining the optimum
strategy. Once a growth option has been identified it will be
necessary to test broad areas of land to identify locations for
development throughout the plan period. These documents will assess
a wide range of areas and clearly identify the strengths and
weaknesses of each site, whilst providing a clear explanation as to
why an area has either been discounted or considered as suitable
for development.
