Local Development Scheme

The purpose of the Local Development Scheme (LDS) is to inform the public and stakeholders of the Council’s timetable for the production of documents that will form part of the LDF, over approximately a three-year period.

We have also prepared a timetable to show actual current progress for each document. 


The document(s) below appear in Adobe® Acrobat® (PDF) format. In order to view a document you will need to have Acrobat Reader installed. (Those with visual impairments may wish to investigate Access Adobe, which provides tools and information to help make PDF files more accessible).

The current Local Development Scheme

Our current Local Development Scheme came into effect on 2 April 2012 and provides details, including timetable, of documents that we intend to prepare over the period 2012 to 2015.

Current progress for each document

A timetable showing the current stage and progress for each of the documents in our Local Development Framework can be found in the LDF Current Timetable for May 2012.
