Help shape the long-term future of Gloucestershire

People across Gloucestershire are being encouraged to have their say on how the county should grow and develop over the next 30 years.
 

A new Spatial Development Strategy is being developed to help plan Gloucestershire’s future. It will look at the bigger picture across the county, including where new homes and jobs could be provided, improvements to the environment, and the transport and other infrastructure needed to support communities. It will also consider issues including health and the economy.
 

The strategy is being developed as part of changes to the planning system introduced by government. 

To help develop the strategy, Gloucestershire County Council’s cabinet has approved an initial period of engagement. This will give communities, businesses and other organisations an opportunity to say what matters should be considered on a countywide basis and help shape what the strategy should focus on before more detailed work begins. 

The county council wants to hear local views before work begins on drafting the strategy. There will be a further consultation on the draft strategy. To take part in the engagement and find out more information, please visit: www.gloucestershire/SDS

This survey should take around 10 - 15 minutes to complete depending on how much you want to tell us. 

If you would like to request this survey or other materials in a different format, please email at SDS@gloucestershire.gov.uk or come along to a drop in event where we can help you take part.
