Scarborough Borough Local Development Scheme (LDS)

The Local Development Framework (LDF) was intended to be a portfolio of Local Development Documents (LDDs) which included Development Plan Documents (DPDs), Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs), a Statement of Community Involvement (SCI), the Local Development Scheme (LDS) and Annual Monitoring Reports (AMRs). Together these documents provided the framework for delivering the spatial planning strategy for a local authority area.

The Council is changing its approach towards plan preparation in light of Government changes to the planning system. As a consequence the Council is merging its work on the Core Strategy and the Community, Environment and Economy DPD into a 'Local Plan'. You can find a detailed timetable and work programme below.

The following Committee report was agreed by Members of Full Council on 26 March 2013.
