What stage have we reached?

The Development, Planning and Information Team - June 2008

Local Development Framework timetable

The Local Development Scheme (LDS) [PDF 190kb] sets out the timetable for the production of the various documents which make up the LDF. The scheme which came into effect on 1 September 2005 was reviewed in 2007 and the revised scheme took effect formally from 24 September 2007.

Development Plan Documents (DPDs)
DPD1 The Core Strategy
The new LDS provides more time for the preparation of the core strategy in order that it can take into account:
  • the parameters set for LDFs in the Regional Spatial Strategy which is expected to be approved in March 2008
  • current work by the Council and its partners to revise the community strategy, the content of which needs to be reflected in the core strategy
  • the outcome of studies due to be completed in 2007/2008 which will improve the evidence base of the core strategy.

Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs)
The new LDS has revised the programme for production of SPDs.

SPD1 - Negotiating Financial Contributions for Transport Improvements (Leeds Road, Huddersfield)
This SPD, formerly entitled Developer Contributions Transport, was adopted on 21 September 2007.

SPD2 - Affordable Housing
Consultation occurred between 7th April and 16th May 2008 on an Affordable Housing Supplementary Planning Document (SPD). This document will provide an up-to-date framework for negotiation of provision of affordable housing with developers. The consultation responses are currently being considered.
