Planning Policy Frequently Asked Questions

The timetable for the production of the Local Development Framework (LDF) is set out in the Local Development Scheme (LDS). The LDS is reviewed annually to ensure it is up-to-date.

To make sure you are kept in touch with the LDF, it is suggested that you keep a note of the important dates, such as consultation periods outlined in the LDS.  You may also wish to register on the Council's consultation database. For more information, please visit the Consultation System webpage.
