The Core Strategy will set out the Council’s vision for the future development of Leeds over the next 20 years, and is the principal document in the Local Development Framework. The Core Strategy addresses a wide range of environmental, social and economic considerations in order to address the challenges and opportunities which Leeds faces.
The Preferred Approach was consulted on for 6 weeks between 26th October and 7th December 2009.
This consultation closed on 7th December 2009.
The Council undertook Informal Consultation in late 2006 to identify issues and develop initial options for the Core Strategy. The comments received at this early stage were used to inform and help focus the Issues and Alternative Options stage, which underwent formal consultation in October to December 2007.

Next Steps
Consultation Responses to the Preferred Approach will be considered and used to work up the final version of the Core Strategy, along with finalising the evidence base and Sustainability Appraisal. It will be submitted to the Secretary of State (including a formal stage where people can submit representations) and taken through an independent Examination by a government appointed Inspector. It is envisaged that the Core Strategy will be adopted in Winter 2012.
