Local Development Framework
Planning the future development of Medway
Following the consultation carried out at the end of last year
the Council has been working hard taking account of representations
made, as well as changes from government and other bodies, to
produce the Publication Draft Core Strategy. On 14
October 2011 the council completed a six-week consultation on
the following documents:
In addition there are also a number of updated/ revised
documents available to be viewed which sit alongside the Core
Strategy, which are:
An effective LDF:
- takes account of national, regional and strategic planning
policies;
- identifies sites for and the requirements of major
development;
- provides the framework of policies for assessing all planning
applications;
- enables infrastructure and service providers to bring forward
their services when needed by new development;
- enables the public to be fully involved in developing local
policies and proposals.
The LDF will consist of a portfolio of Local Development
Documents (LDDs) instead of a single plan:
LDFs are prepared in accordance with a Local Development
Scheme (LDS). On 2 August 2011 the Cabinet of the Council
approved a revised LDS, which sets out the current timescales for
the production of the LDF and what each document will cover.
Core Strategy
The Core Strategy is the main
strategic policy document of the LDF. It sets out the vision for
the area over the next 15 years and policies intended to enable
this to be realised.
Other LDF documents:
A range of related documents are also available.
