Local Development Scheme (LDS)
PLEASE NOTE: In recognition of the Government’s recent publication of the National Planning Policy Framework, work which was previously carried out under the banner of ‘Core Strategy’ or ‘Local Development Framework’ will now be taken forward under the title of ‘New Local Plan’.
Introduction
The Local Development Scheme was adopted in March 2011 and outlined our programme and schedule for the production of Local Development Documents that would make up the Local Development Framework.
The Scheme explained what each Local Development Document would cover and set out the dates for community and stakeholder involvement in order to allow interested parties to plan around these dates. The scheme also set out when the documents would be finalised and adopted.

Changes to the Programme
Following publication of the National Planning Policy Framework, the timetable set out in our Local Development Scheme for preparing our new Local Plan is being reconsidered. At this stage, it is thought that the key dates will be:
- November 2012 - Publication and consultation on Local Plan (Strategy)
- January 2013 - Submission to Secretary of State
- June 2013 - Hearing
- Late 2013 - Adoption
As a consequence the timetable for the other parts of the new Local Plan, previously referred to as the Site Specific and Area Based Allocations and the Development Management Policies Development Plan Documents, will also need to be revised from the timetables currently published.
More information on the timetable will appear in due course.
