Core Strategy Preferred Options (Revised October 2008)

The Sustainable Communities Act came into effect in October 2008 and will give significant opportunities for towns to achieve their aims.
It gives communities new and real powers to make central government do more locally to promote genuine sustainability.
However, there is a hurdle, which is that communities will only be able to use this Act if Rochford DC chooses to 'opt in' when invited to by central government.
Has Rochford DC decided to 'opt in' yet?
