It is a requirement for all Local Planning Authorities to prepare and maintain a ‘Local Development Scheme' (LDS). The LDS is the ‘Project Plan’ that explains the documents the Council will prepare as part of the Local Development Framework (LDF) over the forthcoming three-year period. It also sets out the resources the council will require and the timetable for each document. The LDS will be kept up to date - considering the need to revise it on, at least, an annual basis.

The revised LDS for the new Shropshire Council has been agreed by the Government Office for the West Midlands. Follow the attachment on this page to view the Shropshire LDS.
