Local development scheme

What is the Local Development Scheme (LDS)?

The Local Development Scheme (LDS) sets out the documents we will prepare as part of the Local Plan over the next 3 years.

Our LDS provides the community and other partners with information on the different Local Plan documents for the area, as well as the timescale, the associated work programmes, budgeting and resources required to produce each document.

The revised Local Development Scheme for the period 2022-2024 was agreed by the council's Cabinet on 1 February 2022.
