What is the swjcs?
South Worcestershire, like so many areas around the country, is constantly under pressure to accommodate growth. Growth includes housing and the provision of jobs, schools, shopping outlets, health and recreational facilities and plenty of open spaces to benefit us all. It also means the provision of infrastructure to support new development.
By creating places that are enjoyable to live and work in and that are in harmony with the environment, we can create strong communities that feel safe and in which people can enjoy improved health and wellbeing.
The South Worcestershire Joint Core Strategy (swjcs) is a planning framework, which aims to ensure that development has a positive impact on the area. It is being jointly prepared by the three local authorities and communities of Malvern Hills, Wychavon and Worcester City.
It considers the long term vision and objectives for South Worcestershire and will contain the policies for delivering these objectives in a planned and cohesive manner.
We welcome views from everyone as they are critical to the future plans of the area.
