PART 1: Setting the Scene and Summary

(11)1. Introduction

1.1 This document has been prepared as a basis for consultation for Warwick District’s next Local Plan. It sets out the Council’s preferred options on a range of topics and explains the reasons why these options are being suggested. Where alternative options have been considered it also explains why these are not being suggested as preferred options.

1.2 The Local Plan will be key to helping the District Council to deliver its Vision over the next 15 years. The Preferred Options set out below have been developed to fit in with the Council’s Vision and with other key Council strategies. It has also taken account of what our partners (such as Warwickshire County Council, Coventry City Council, Warwickshire Police, Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service; the health service and many others) are trying to achieve.
