Local Development Framework - local development scheme
Status / Progress
The current Local Development Scheme (LDS) was updated
and approved in November 2009. It will be rolled forward,
revised and updated as necessary. This replaces the
LDS
published in March 2009.
Role of Local Development Scheme
The
LDS
is a
public statement setting out the Council's project plan for
preparing the Local Development Framework (LDF). The purpose of the
LDS
is to:
- Set out what planning policy documents exist and what new
documents will be prepared as part of the
LDF
;
- Set out the timescales the public can expect for the
preparation and review of these documents;
- Indicate when stakeholders and the public can get involved and
influence the plan making process;
- Enable work programmes to be set for the preparation of Local
Development Documents (LDDs) and;
- Show how the
LDF
programme will establish
and reflect the Council's priorities and to assist the programming
other Council strategies and plans.
The preparation of the
LDS
is a legal requirement
introduced by the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, that
forms part of the
LDF
.
