What is the Core Strategy?

The Core Strategy sets out a 20 year planning vision for York, covering the following themes:

• York's special historic and built environment;
• Building confident, creative and inclusive communities;
• A prosperous and thriving economy;
• A leading environmentally friendly city; and
• A world class centre for education and learning for all.

The document sets out how the Council will protect and enhance the city's special historic character and natural environment, ensuring that any new developments meet the city's long terms needs.

The Core Strategy has been prepared over a number of stages.  Previous consultation has taken place on Issues and Options and Preferred Options in 2006, 2007 and 2009.  The views raised, along with the results of emerging evidence base work, were used to develop a Submission (Publication) document on which we invited your comments between 26th September -7th November 2011.   The Core Strategy and the Representations received during this consultation will be submitted to the Inspector to be considered as part of the examination which will take place early next year.
