Local Development Frameworks (LDFs) set out the local planning authority’s policies and proposals for the development and use of land in their area over a period of at least ten years. The Regional Spatial Strategy (or Spatial Development Strategy in London) is part of the Development Plan, covered in more detail under Regional Planning.

Schemes, the project management tool for the LDFs, and assess the
Development Plan Documents.
