The Local Development Scheme is the ‘Project Plan’ that identifies the documents Shropshire Council will prepare as part of the Development Plan over the next 3-year period. The Local Development Scheme explains:

• The purpose of the Local Plan documents which form the Development Plan for Shropshire;
• The resources the Council will require; and
• Timescales for producing Local Plan documents, including when public consultation will take place.

The most recent Local Development Scheme covers the period from early 2025 to early 2028. A copy of this Local Development Scheme is available to download from this page.

The Local Development Scheme will be kept up to date by considering the need to revise it on at least an annual basis.
