Wyre Forest District produced a Pre-Submission Publication
Core Strategy on which representations were invited for a
period of six weeks commencing on Thursday 7th January
2010. The closing date for representations was5.30pm on Thursday
18th February 2010.
The Council submitted the Core Strategy to the Secretary of
State for Independent Examination on 8th April 2010. Prior its
submission, the Core Strategy was published to enable
representations to be made based on the document's soundness.
(Further information on the Tests of Soundness is available from
the representation guidance notes below) This pre-submission
publication period enabled the Council to determine whether
any changes needed to be made before the document was
submitted for examination by a Planning Inspector. All
representations received at this stage were submitted alongside the
Core Strategy for the Inspector's consideration.

Sustainability Appraisal process including an independent check by
