Core Strategy publication

The Regs require the LPA to give notice by local advertisment when they publish a DPD. Local Advertisement is defined as "on at least one occasion in a local newspaper circulating in the whole of the area of the local planning authority". This definition clearly does not restrict a LPA to only one advert. However, as wriiten it appears to suggest that only one newspaper can be used. What happens where there is not one single newspaper which circulates within the LPA area? Presumably there is nothing to stop us using more than one newspaper on one or more occasions?

Wokingham Borough had a similar issue in deciding how to ensure coverage when each of the local newspapers circulating did not provide complete coverage on their own. The authority consequently decided to place adverts in each of the newspapers that provided coverage in the relevant parts of the area. The Council's use of this approach was accepted by the Inspector who concluded the submitted Core Strategy was sound.
