Joint Core Strategy
The Joint Core Strategy public consultation will be open from 13th December
2011 to 12th February 2012.
The aim of this consultation is to allow communities to have their say on
the consultation document ‘Developing the Preferred Option’, which looks at
options for future development across Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury
Borough. The options include proposed housing and employment requirements
for the area from 2011 to 2031.
As part of this consultation, the Joint Core Strategy team is holding a
series of events throughout the area in order to meet with people, explain
proposed scenarios within the consultation document and enable people to
have their say on future development of the Joint Core Strategy area. The
nearest consultation to Gotherington will be at St Michael’s Church Hall,
Bishops Cleeve on Thursday 26th January 2012 at 17.30 – 20.30.
The events will be in the form of a three hour ‘drop in’ session when you
will be able to view a presentation and displays, speak to planners and
representatives of the Joint Core Strategy team about the implications for
your community and give your views on the proposed options.
