The South Worcestershire Development Plan must be based on up to date and robust information to ensure that the policies and proposals within it have a sound basis. The ‘soundness’ of Development Plan Documents is one of the key matters that will be tested at examination.
To meet the tests of soundness, the South Worcestershire Development Plan is based on technical evidence including feedback from infrastructure / service providers, specific technical reports including the required Sustainability Appraisal as well as feed back from various public consultations.
The following provides a list of evidence papers prepared locally either for South Worcestershire or Worcestershire County:
- Annual Monitoring Reports
- Background Papers
- Community Strategies
- Employment
- Environment
- Housing and Population
- Leisure and Community Facilities
- Retail
- Sustainability Appraisal
- Transport and Infrastructure
