Local Development Framework News

Local Development Scheme (LDS)

This identifies the planning policy documents that we intend to prepare over the next three-year period, setting out the timetable for their preparation and adoption.

Councillors agreed a revised LDS on 2 March 2010.

Gypsy and Traveller Development Plan Document (DPD)

This plan must show how we will meet the East of England Plan (amended July 2009) requirements for new Gypsy and Travellers pitches in the district. In summer / autumn 2009 a consultation was carried out on Site Options and Policies - Issues and Options 2.

Representations received during this consultation are being registered. Any additional sites that have been proposed are being tested using the same criteria that we used to identify the initial option sites. Any sites meeting the criteria will be included in a consultation in summer 2010. Both consultations will help us to prepare a final draft plan for consultation in 2011.

Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs)

SPDs provide further guidance on formal policies contained in adopted Development Plan Documents. They may cover a specific topic or a particular development site. Three SPDs on Affordable Housing, Landscape in New Developments and a District Design Guide were consulted on at the end of 2009.

All three SPDs were adopted at the Planning and New Communities Joint Portfolio Holders Meeting on 2 March 2010.
