The Preferred Options Consultation is the third stage in the process for preparing the new South Warwickshire Local Plan. The Preferred Options Consultation and accompanying targeted Call for Sites will run from 10 January to 7 March 2025. Please note comments made after the closing date will not be considered.
The Preferred Options Consultation document contains a number of draft policies and policy directions that cover issues identified and analysed at earlier stages of the South Warwickshire Local Plan preparation process: Scoping, Call for Sites (opens in new tab) and Issues and Options (opens in new tab) consultation (responses to these earlier consultations can be found on each of these pages). Additionally, the Preferred Options consultation will be seeking views on the proposed Growth Strategy which sets out the proposals for how the development needs across the District are to be met.
