To consider the report of the Leader of the Council seeking approval of the Core Strategy.
The Core Strategy sets out the overall strategy for development in the City and was adopted in 2010. The Partial Review updates the Core Strategy by reducing the City's office and retail targets in the light of economic circumstances; introduces the 'presumption in favour of sustainable development'; and makes minor changes to the biodiversity policy. Following a public examination in 2014, the Council can now decide to adopt the Partial Review. The Core Strategy forms part of the development plan against which planning applications are judged and the Council's policy framework.
