Local Development Frameworks (LDFs) are documents produced by local councils to guide future development in their area, and include both land allocations and the policies which form criteria against which planning applications and appeals are determined. We participate in the preparation of LDFs on behalf of our clients, both in terms of promoting sites and providing input to planning policy formulation.
The new LDF system for local development plans is still evolving and getting involved at an early stage is important. Longman Planning Consultancy can assess the opportunities that are available to clients and advise on how to make the most of these opportunities in order to achieve a site allocation or influence local planning policies.
Services include:
• Strategic analysis of LDFs and advice regarding planning promotion strategy
• Site promotion including the preparation of representations relating to all stages of the LDF process to be submitted to the Local Planning Authority.
• Assessing emerging Local Plan policy and influencing this to the advantage of the client.
