Public Consultation

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.

We welcome views from everyone as they are critical to any future plans. Information is available from:
• www.swjcs.org
• Customer service centres and libraries

You can also view comments from the November 07 Issues and Options Public Consultation here.

The swjcs Preferred Options Paper will be open to public consultation on 19 September 08 for 6-weeks. You can view the developing calendar of events or view the latest timetable.

If you would like more information about the swjcs or if you would like to receive a regular update by email you can call 01905 722233, or email contact@swjcs.org
