Local Development Scheme
The Council is required to prepare a Local Development Framework (LDF) which is a set
of planning documents that contains the Council's policies and
proposals for how its area will be developed in the
future.
The Local Development Scheme (LDS) is a
public statement detailing which documents will make up the
Local Development Framework and when they will be produced.
What documents will be produced?
The Local Development Scheme proposes the
production of the following planning documents over the next few
years. Further information on each of the documents can

The priority for the Council will be the production of the
Core Strategy in order to provide the vision, objectives and high
level planning framework for Northumberland.
When will the documents be produced?
Due to delays in the preparation of the Core Strategy, a number
of the proposed dates for document preparation in the Local
Development Scheme are out of date. More up-to-date information on
the proposed timings of the documents can be viewed by clicking on
