OPDC planning applications
The Local Development Scheme
The Local Development Scheme (LDS) sets out our project plan for the production of the Local Plan and other planning policy documents. It provides up-to-date information so that interested parties will know when they can participate in the plan-making process.
This LDS includes:
- a description of the local planning documents to be prepared by OPDC
- the planned timetable for the Local Plan and the key milestones to be achieved
- the project plan for preparing non-development plan documents which will support the Local Plan, including the Statement of Community Involvement and Supplementary Planning Documents
- the project plan for the preparation of the Community Infrastructure Levy Charging Schedule.
