2. First Issues Paper Consultation (2001) 2.1 Following adoption of the Local Plan in 1998, the Council then began to review the document with a First Issues Paper out for consultation in September 2001. While this consultation was carried out some years ago and much of the consultation work superseded, the consultation was extensive and the results fed into the Core Strategy Issues and Options Paper as discussed below. A report on the results of this consultation process is available on request. 3. Issues and Options Consultation (2005) Introduction 3.1 The Issues and Options consultation on the Core Strategy ran from 6 July to 17 August 2005. This was an invitation to the community to comment on the issues to be addressed in the Core Strategy, to assist the Council in developing options, and later to identify a ‘preferred option’. 3.2 The Core Strategy Issues and Options document revisits the results of the ‘Local Plan Review Issues Paper 1’ and identifies the key issues identified under a series of headings. 3.3 The Issues and Options document goes on to identify components of the vision for the Borough and what this means for the LDF. The priority headlines include: � West Norfolk’s local identity and distinctiveness is important � Housing provision should be appropriate to what people in West Norfolk need and can afford � Crime and nuisance concern the people of West Norfolk � West Norfolk’s local facilities and services are important in helping meet the needs of local people � Develop a safe and good transport system � Enable the development of a prosperous and diverse local economy � Developing a good telecommunications system is an essential part of the future for West Norfolk � West Norfolk’s opportunities for tourism, sport, recreation and culture are important to our well-being and local economy � Improve the health and well-being of local residents � West Norfolk’s countryside should be protected for its own sake while enabling rural diversification � King’s Lynn should be the focus for major new development � New development in Downham Market and Hunstanton should be appropriate to their roles and functions 6
