As a starting point to the preparation of a Local Development
Framework the Government required Local Planning Authorities (LPAs)
to submit a Local Development Scheme within six months of the new
Act coming into force. The LDS will be a statutory project
management plan for the preparation of the LDF covering at least
three years.
The LDS will serve two purposes:
it provides the starting point for the local community to find
out what the LPAs planning policies are for the area in which they
live, as it will set out the current documents which form the
development plan for the planning of the area, and
it sets out the programme for the preparation of Local
Development Documents over a three year period, including
timetables which tell people when the various stages in the
preparation of any development plan document will be carried
out.
The Council's first LDS was approved in December
2004. It has now been reviewed twice. The
latest version came into force on 20th April 2007.
Statement of Community Involvement
The statutory requirement to prepare a Statement of Community
Involvement (SCI) is a particular feature of the new system.
This will set out the Local Planning Authority's policy for
involving the community in the preparation and revision of all
Local Development Documents and in development control
decisions.
The SCI will set out when and how the community will be
involved. It was appropved in 2006 following an independant
examination by a Government Inspector. For

Development Plan Documents
(DPDs)
Development Plan documents (DPDs), together with the Regional
Spatial Strategy (RSS), will form the statutory development plan
for the Borough. In this Region the RSS will be prepared by
the North West Regional Assembly. Regional Planning Guidance
for the North West became Regional Spatial Strategy on the
commencement of the Act; and is now being reviewed.
Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs)
Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs) will not form part of
the statutory development plan; and will not be independently
assessed by an Inspector at an Examination in the same way as
DPDs. SPDs will provide further details of policies and
proposals contained in DPDs. These could take the form of
design guides, development briefs or issue based documents.
