A Local Development Scheme (LDS) is a timetable that indicates the key milestones for individual Local Development Documents ( LDDs ) with an indication of what and when will be undertaken.

The council’s last LDS was approved by the Government Office for the South East in October 2009 and was published here on the website and as a paper document. However, the LDS no longer needs government approval. In view of this, and that the programmes for individual LDDs are subject to frequent change, the council has decided that updates of the LDS will now only be published as an ‘active’ page on this part of the website.

The following LDDs have been adopted:

Other approved Supplementary Guidance includes: Waterlooville Town Centre Urban Design Framework  and Provision and Improvement of Playing Space for New Housing Development

As of August 2011, the timetables for LDDs currently in preparation are:

Development Delivery (Allocations) DPD

Statement of Community Involvement (First Revision)

The Developer Contributions SPD is no longer being taken through to adoption.  In light of comments received and recent developments regarding the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), future resources will be directed towards developing a CIL charging schedule. It is anticipated that much of the work undertaken in developing the SPD will be transferrable to CIL and will help the council meet the timescales set out in the Front Runner 2 Programme.  CIL is not part of the LDS but further details can be found here, including timescales>>
