SCS and LDF: challenge questions

11.1 How will engagement on the development plan document be joined up with corporate consultation exercises to reduce the likelihood of consultation fatigue and make efficient use of resources?

11.2 Is there agreement in principle to align and coordinate the core strategy with the unitary or district sustainable community strategy and that of the county (in two-tier areas)?

11.3 Where preparation of the two plans is to be synchronised, how will the two sets of plan making be integrated and decision-making coordinated?

11.4 Where they are being prepared at the same time, how will the decision-making on the core strategy and the sustainable community strategy be coordinated?

11.5 What are the main messages from the outcome of public participation on the preferred strategy? Do they suggest that the strategy should be changed, and if so, how? (Please note: if proposed changes are significant, it may be advisable to re-consult, including consulting on revised sustainability appraisal.)
