Draft core strategy
The draft core strategy was an initial full draft document for consultation, setting out the city council’s intended approach through a series of detailed policies and proposals. People were invited to make comments on these or suggest their own alternative proposals. A significant number of comments were received through the consultation, which ended on 15 January 2010.
Please note: Following a request from United Utilities, the diagram showing the location of water infrastructure on page 161 of the draft core strategy has been removed from the document.

Planning inspectorate advisory visit
Having reached a key stage in production of its core strategy, the city council was offered an advisory visit from the planning inspectorate. The planning inspectorate provides support to local authorities in preparing their local development frameworks and in particular core strategies. The purpose of the visit was to review progress on plan preparation and to provide an opportunity to explore that adequacy of work already undertaken with regards to the public examination and its role in testing the soundness of the plan.
Planning inspector Ron Punshon was nominated to assist Salford City Council and visited on 24 February 2010 to consider the draft core strategy document and discuss key issues with officers. The advice note is a copy of the full note produced by the inspector and is available to download at the foot of this page. It is important to note that the guidance in the planning inspector's note is advisory and will not constitute a formal part the examination process.
