The IDP needs to be updated once site allocations and the spatial distribution of development are approved for public consultation. The draft site allocations have been circulated to stakeholders (e.g. KCC, Primary Care Trust) and revised information is expected soon. The IDP is a “live” document and will be further revised as more information is made available.
