Development Management DPD

Overview

The LDF Core Strategy was adopted in April 2009. This further stage of the consultation is about the Development Management Plan (DPD), which includes over 60 detailed policies building on the core strategy. These policies will be used as a basis for deciding on all planning applications.

 We identified the issues for the Development Management DPD covering a range of topics. In a number of areas we carried out focused consultation through a series of public workshops in June and September/October 2009. Other specialist meetings also formed part of this consultation, including expert workshops and formal discussions on specific topics in autumn 2009. Whilst these were not open to the public, we made available a summary of the issues.
