Summary

Following the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 we are required to produce a Local Development Framework that will replace the current Local Plan. It will contain a portfolio of documents which will deliver the spatial planning strategy for the borough from 2006 to 2021.

 

What is a Local Development Framework?

 

A Local Development Framework (LDF) is being prepared and will replace the Oadby and Wigston Local Plan. The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 [External Link]| came into force in September 2004 and has led to a new planning system whereby Local Plans and Structure Plans are being replaced with Local Development Frameworks (LDF).
