Local Development Scheme and Timetable for Local Plan
The timetable for the production of local plan and consultation at the different stages is set out in the Local Development Scheme (LDS).
The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 places a statutory duty on the Council to maintain an up-to-date Local Development Scheme (LDS) that sets out the timetable for the production of the Council's Local Plan. It is important to be kept up-to-date to reflect the Council's Local Plan progress, and in doing so keep residents and key stakeholders informed.
Cabinet Members approved an update to the Local Development Scheme (LDS) on Monday 5th September 2022.
