We sometimes get asked to respond to consultations by other bodies. This page is about these consultations and our responses.
The Sustainable Community Strategy for South Gloucestershire is being revised. This document sets out the main aims for the Local Strategic Partnership, which is a partnership of local, mostly public organisations, such as the Council, the health service and the police. It covers the area of South Gloucestershire until 2026.
There is a consultation on the new draft Strategy until 18 November. Sustainable Thornbury is putting together a response, and asking members to contribute their views.
In addition, you can respond as an individual by filling in the questionnaire or emailing.
The Core Strategy is the document that sets out the broad planning policies of South Gloucestershire Council. All planning applications are accepted by the Council if they comply with their planning policies. There may be other, more detailed policies set out in other documents, but these must comply with the Core Strategy.
In 2010 the Council held a consultation on the new pre-submission draft Core Strategy for South Gloucestershire up to 2026. Sustainable Thornbury submitted a response to this draft.
Lodge Farm was a smallholding near Rudgeway owned by South Gloucestershire Council. The Council held a consultation on a proposal to sell all or part of the holding. Sustainable Thornbury responded that this was a valuable resource and community uses should be considered.
