CORE STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT PLAN DOCUMENT
PROPOSED SUBMISSION DRAFT
STOCKTON ON TEES LOCAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK
July 2008
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 This statement outlines the consultation processes undertaken in the preparation of
the Council’s Core Strategy Development Plan Document (DPD) for publication. 1.2 This statement outlines the extent of the consultation carried out with stakeholders
and the public, in addition to setting out the responses received through public consultation exercises.
Consultation related to Issues and Options for Stockton Borough 1.3 The Core Strategy: Consultation Statement related to Issues and Options (September
2007) document provides information relating to consultation at this stage, and was published as part of a suite of documents at the Preferred Options stage. This provides details of local advertisements, consultees and meetings and a summary of comments received during this process. A copy of this document can be found on the Council’s website at www.stockton.gov.uk/corestrategy or a copy obtained by contacting the Spatial Planning Team on 01642528557.
2.0 CONSULTATION RELATED TO THE PREFERRED OPTIONS
Development of the Preferred Options. 2.1 During the development of the Council’s Preferred Options, a series of meetings were
held, or attended, to inform the Core Strategy and identify more detailed issues for the Regeneration Development Plan Document.
2.2 Internal consultation took place with the following services:
• Regeneration (regular quarterly meetings); • Building Schools for the future (monthly meetings?); • Housing; • Highways and Traffic Road Safety; • Environmental Health; • Parks and Countryside; • Environmental Policy; • Children, Education and Social Care; • Business Development; • Built and Natural Environment; • Development Management; and • Land and Property.
2.3 External meetings took place with: • Health Improvement Partnership June 2007 • One Northeast July 2007
Joint Meetings 2.4 During June and July 2007 officers from the Spatial Planning Section attended a
number of Local Strategic Partnership (LSP) meetings and other group meetings with officers preparing the Sustainable Community Strategy. Details are set out in Appendix 1.
Using other opportunities to raise awareness 2.5 In association with other services, the Spatial Planning section contributed towards
the hire of a large mobile television screen which was displaying in Stockton Town Centre. This was present during core retail hours for 6 days between the 13th and 19th September 2007. This screen displayed an advert identifying issues relating to the Local Development Framework, and advertised the forthcoming consultation on the Core Strategy Preferred Options document.
2.6 When invited, other opportunities to raise the public profile of the Core Strategy were
taken. These included attending:
• A “Tell us what you think event” for BME communities (September 2007) • A special meeting of the Disability Action Group, similar to other “Tell us what
you think” events (December 2007); • A “Tell us what you think” event for the Faith Communities (May 2008).
Public Consultation – 28th September to 9th November 2007 2.7 Following the publication of the document, the Council began a six-week public
consultation by contacting people via post, publishing information in local newspapers and preparing a series of exhibitions.
Public Consultation
2.8 In order to have further input into the preparation of the Core Strategy DPD, a wider
consultation exercise was carried out. This included neighbouring local authorities, parish councils and neighbouring parish councils, key stakeholders and members of the public. A list of consultees is attached at Appendix 2.
2.9 In accordance with the Council’s Statement of Community Involvement (SCI), the
initial consultation exercise was advertised in the local press (see below). Letters were also sent out to those on the consultation database and members of Stockton Residents and Communities Groups Association. Members of the Residents’ Panel were notified by e-mail, where possible. The feedback from the consultation is set out in Appendix 3.
Local Press
2.10 The publication of the Core Strategy Preferred Options document and the related
consultation were advertised in the public notices sections of the Evening Gazette and Herald and Post newspapers on the 28th September and 3rd October respectively. The on-going consultation was also highlighted in the autumn edition of Stockton News, free publication delivered to all properties within the Borough. Publicity was also given to a number of related exhibitions (see below) through press releases. Examples of articles published in local newspapers are displayed at Appendix 4
Public Exhibitions
The Core Strategy and Regeneration DPD consultation launch 2.11 For this event the Spatial Planning Section invited members of the public, residents
groups, and stakeholders who had registered on the Council’s LDF consultation database, to the, “Core Strategy and Regeneration DPD Consultation Launch”. During this event there was a short presentation of the content and implications of the documents followed by an opportunity for attendees to view related exhibitions and discuss relevant issues with Council officers. A similar invitation was extended to Council officers aimed at raising corporate awareness of these documents within other Council departments (see Appendix 5).
Libraries and Supermarkets
2.12 In order to further engage with members of the public, a number of staffed and un-
staffed public exhibitions were organised. These commenced with an exhibition touring the Borough’s libraries through mid to late October staying in each location for 2 days. Council officers staffed these exhibitions on one afternoon / early evening for each location. The table below shows the dates when the exhibitions were in each location.
Venue. Exhibition dates. Staffed Session
Billingham Branch Library 8th and 9th October. 9th October 2pm - 7pm.

Norton Library 26th and 27th October.26th October 2pm - 7pm.
2.13 Whilst the library exhibitions were useful in raising the awareness of the documents
and gaining feedback from the public it was considered that the exhibitions also needed to be situated in locations which were highly visible to the community. It was decided that the exhibition should be displayed and staffed by Council officers in local supermarkets. The table below shows when and where these events took place.
2.14 In Stockton and Billingham, local facilities such as Stockton Town Hall and Billingham
Forum, which also have a significant footfall, were also considered suitable locations to hold exhibitions. Exhibitions were also held in the communities of Port Clarence and Wynyard.

Post Preferred Options Consultation 2.15 Following receipt of comments, to assist with the preparation of the submission draft
Core Strategy and to inform the Infrastructure Strategy, meetings were held with key stakeholders:
• Disability Action Group, January 2008; • Water and Sewerage Services, (Northumbrian Water Ltd.; Hartlepool Water,

Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment), involving: Highways Agency Network Rail Environment Agency Northumbrian Water Ltd.)
• Police Authority, June 2008; • Environment Agency, July 2008.
Consultation in relation to the Evidence Base 2.16 To support the Core Strategy, the Council has been compiling an evidence base. This
comprises a series of studies referred to in Table ** of the Core Strategy. Consultation has been an integral part in the preparation of some of these studies, as follows:
• Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment: this has been the subject of
two public consultation exercises (early in 2008 at the beginning of the preparation process to comment on the proposed methodology and submit sites for consideration, and upon completion of the assessment of sites August 2008) and a developer workshop to gain insight into developer views on the suitability, availability and achievability of sites;
• Employment Land Review: the preparation of this review involved a business survey, a visioning workshop and stakeholder interviews; and
• Open Space. Recreation and Landscape Study: public input into this study has been encouraged, with the involvement of the general public as well as specific groups such as young people and those with a disability, to establish views on existing provision and find out what people would like to be provided in terms of quantity, quality, type and location of facilities.
