The Local Development Framework
The Local Development Framework (LDF) is a folder of Local Development Plan Documents (DPD's), the most important and first of which is the Core Strategy. The Council has prepared the Core Strategy in line with the timetable below. There is a significant amount of evidence that has been produced as part of preparing the Core Strategy. These documents explore in more detail many of the key issues and are the basis upon which the Core Strategy policies and subsequent DPDs have and will be prepared.
The Council submitted the Core Strategy to the Secretary of State on Friday 20th February 2009 for further information please click here.
