The Next Community forum meeting is being held at Merchistoun Hall on Tuesday the 8th April from 6:30 and will cover the current progress on the Joint Core Strategy, the Allocations Plan and how this will be rolled out. The Allocations plan is the ultimate document in setting the strategy for designating the strategic development of the community in the most sustainable manner and we will have further details on how this weekends consultation held at Merchistoun Hall will roll into this, and the short term weight this will have in planning policy.
We are also due any day now to hear from the Government inspector on the Joint Core Strategy and if he will consider this to be sound. Hopefully this will happen prior to the Community Forum meeting.
