Local Development Frameworks will replace Local Plans; Structure Plans will be abolished, whilst a Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) will replace Regional Planning Guidance (RPG).
The aim of the new planning system is to streamline the process and encourage more involvement and participation with the local community.
The LDF will be presented as loose leaf folder that will contain the planning policy documents. This will ensure these documents can be updated and amended easily. Under the new planning system the Statutory Development Plan for the district will therefore consist of the following:
- Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS8) for the East Midlands prepared by Eas Midlands Regional Assembly.
- Local Development Framework (LDF) prepared by the District Council.
