Timetable for review of development plans

A timetable of all the various stages in reviewing our development plans can be found in the Local Development Scheme 2010 (LDS).

Review of the Regional Development Plan

The East of England Plan was adopted in 2008, but is now subject to review. The main thrust of the review is to push back the end date of the Plan from 2021 to 2031, and set new house building targets and other policies accordingly. The Review of the East of England Plan is being undertaken by EERA.

Review of Peterborough Development Plans

We are updating our Development Plans for the area to replace (supersede) its current Adopted Local Plan (2005). However, rather than a single ‘Local Plan’, Government now requires a suite of documents to be produced, collectively known as the Local Development Framework (LDF).

Review of Minerals and Waste Development Plans

Working with Cambridgeshire County Council, we are also updating our Minerals and Waste Plans. These documents will form part of the wider suite of documents collectively known as the Local Development Framework (LDF).

How we consult you when we review Development Plans

The Statement of Community Involvement sets out how communities will be involved in the revision of local planning documents and in the consideration of planning applications.

Evidence base to help us review Development Plans

A comprehensive evidence base is necessary to assist the City Council in preparing reviews of its Development Plans
