Evidence Base to support the LDF
The Evidence Base consists of studies that have been prepared to help inform future planning policies and guidance that are being prepared as part of the LDF.
Local Development Scheme (LDS)
The Local Development Scheme (LDS) explains what each of the documents in the LDF are, what areas they cover and how they relate to each other. The scheme also sets out a timetable for the production of new documents.
Statement of Community Involvement (SCI)
The Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) is the Councils' commitment to consulting the community on planning issues including the LDF and planning applications.
Annual Monitoring Report
Progress in implementing the LDS and the operation of the policies of the LDS will be monitored through the Annual Monitoring Report. This will be monitored for the year from April to March and must be published by the following December. This will also indicate if policies require revision or if new documents need to be prepared.
