What is a LDP?:
A Local Development Plan, sometimes referred to as a 'LDP', is a planning document that is prepared prior to formal submission of a planning application for a site. LDPs provide special design criteria to allow for future development to occur within a specific area.
These plans typically show the proposed location of buildings on the site, land uses, car parking, vehicle access and landscaping, however their exact content can vary depending on the site and the type of development proposed.
Once an LDP is approved, applications for planning approval on the site can be submitted which would provide more detail on the specific design of new buildings. A future planning application would need to reflect the approved LDP, and would be assessed against these provisions, in addition to any other applicable policies under the local planning framework.
The local planning framework which applies to the site include the:
The proposed LDP would be read in conjunction with these policies, and proposes provisions which would vary or add to existing development requirements outlined in these documents. In addition to the provisions, the LDP also outlines objectives which a future development application would need to meet.
