As part of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, as amended, Local Planning Authorities must prepare a 'Local Development Scheme'.
The Local Development Scheme (LDS) shows our programme for producing the Local Development Plan. It explains which Local Development Documents will be produced as part of our Local Plan and when they will be produced.
The latest LDS (LDS13) took effect on 19 December 2025.
If our documents are not accessible to you, you can request a different format here.
