Local Development Framework
As featured regularly in Serving You, the Local Development
Framework (
LDF
) will set the general
policies for making decisions on planning applications within the
borough.
Allocations of land for housing and employment needs will
feature in the
LDF
and the council’s Planning Policy Team are working on studies to
find the best sites.
Enough land to build 6,301 homes by 2026 must be identified and
although the majority of these homes will be built within existing
urban areas, there is still a need to allocate some greenfield
sites to fit them all in.
Looking at the borough’s business needs and where new employment
floorspace might be best located, studies will show what kinds of
employment land the borough will need in the future and how the
quantity and quality of employment floorspace can be improved.
Both studies will provide important background information for
consultation which will be contained in the Core Strategy and
Allocations Development Plan Documents. Consultation will take
place in spring 2008 and you will be kept up to date on
consultation dates through Serving You and the council’s
website.

LDF
