The Local Development Framework is
a series of Local Development Documents (LDDs) which together
will deliver the spatial planning strategy for the District
and includes:
The Local Development Scheme
(LDS) is the three year project plan for
implementing the Local Development Framework. It explains how
the new development planning system will operate and how the
documents and strategies at different levels will fit
together.
Development Plan Documents (DPDs)
are statutory parts of the Local Development
Framework setting out policies and proposals. The Core Strategy sets out the key
elements of the long-term planning framework for the District up to
2026.
Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs):
expanding or providing further detail on policies or proposals in
Development Plan Documents but not having the same status as
these documents. No SPDs are programmed in the Local Development
Scheme.
The Statement of Community
Involvement (SCI) sets out the approach to involving
the community in the preparation of Local Development Documents and
also consultation on planning applications.
The Annual Monitoring Report
(AMR) assesses the implementation of the South Somerset
Local Development Scheme and the extent to which policies and
proposals are being achieved.
The Housing Trajectory provides
details of sites available for housing development for the next 5
years and when these sites could potentially come forward for
development.
