Local Development Scheme

The current Medway Local Development Scheme August 2011 (pdf 115KB) was approved by the council’s Cabinet on 2 August 2011.  You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to use this file. If you do not have it on your computer, please use our advice page.

The scheme sets out a summary project plan that guides the preparation and review of the Local Development Framework (LDF), the long-term spatial plan for Medway.

The council has now reached the Submission Draft stage of the Core Strategy. The draft plan was submitted to the Planning Inspectorate on 7 February 2012. This was a month in advance of the date programmed in the Local Development Scheme. Laura Graham, BSc, MA, MRTPI, has been appointed to conduct the examination to determine if the draft Core Strategy is sound. The council will provide updates on the timetable and process as further information is available from the Inspector.

The Medway Local Development Scheme (LDS) has three main purposes:

  • to inform the public of the documents that will make up the local development framework and the timescales they can expect for the preparation of these documents;
  • to establish and reflect council priorities and to enable programmes to be set for preparing the documents;
  • to set a timetable for the review of the documents once they have been prepared.
