Borough of Telford & Wrekin

Local Development Framework (LDF)

We are preparing a new plan for the borough for the period 2006-2021. The new plan will seek to build on the good work and practices established through the current Wrekin Local Plan, bringing it up to date to tackle new issues facing the borough
The Wrekin Local Plan has an end date of 2006, however, the Plan will be saved at least until September 2007 and as such will still form part of the Development Plan for the borough, together with the West Midlands Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS).

Telford & Wrekin Local Development Framework (LDF) will provide a long term development vision for the borough through to 2016. Unlike the current and previous local plans it will not be a single document, it will be in a compendium format made up of;

Local Development Scheme (LDS)
Sets out the timetable for the preparation of LDF Documents.

Statement of Community Involvement (SCI)
Describes the consultation process for the LDF.

Development Plan Documents (DPDs)
Describes the strategy and proposals for the development of the borough.

Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs)
These documents provide policy guidance to supplement policies and proposals contained within the DPDs.

Sustainanbility Appraisals (SAs)
