Local Development Framework

Local Development Framework

The Local Development Framework (LDF) will help shape the future development of Richmondshire outside of the National Park.  LDF's were introduced by the 2004 Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act and will replace existing local plans, which will remain in force until LDF documents are approved and adopted by the Council.
 
The LDF will be a set of individual policy and advisory documents, designed to make development plans adaptable to changing circumstances.  When completed Richmondshire's LDF will comprise the following parts, listed below.
 
We are working on the LDF Core Strategy. The Core Strategy will set out the overall direction for future development in the Richmondshire Plan Area.

The Local Development Scheme (LDS) is a project plan for the Council's preparation of the LDF.

Statement of Community Involvement (SCI): sets out how the Council will involve the community during the production of the LDF.

Sustainability Appraisal and Habitats Regulations Assessment: are assessments of the affects of proposed Strategies and Plans on social, environmental and economic conditions and their contribution to sustainable development.
 
The Council has also produced interim supplementary planning guidance on Affordable Housing. Please also see the Affordable Housing Pro-forma relating to affordable housing contributions

Annual Monitoring Report: sets out progress on the preparation and monitoring of the LDF.
