North Norfolk Local Development Framework
The Local Development Framework will consist of a number of separate documents which will be formulated over the coming years and will incorporate a strategy, policies and proposals setting out how North Norfolk will develop in the period up to 2021. It will also contain documents relating to the preparation process: the programme, timetable and methods of community involvement.
Local Development Framework
Key issues to be addressed by the LDF include the location of new development, securing more affordable housing, environmental protection, economic development, transport, coastal erosion and provision of community facilities.
The diagram to the right shows the documents we are preparing. Use the links provided below to find out more details on each individual document.
The Local Development Scheme is the project plan which sets out our 3-year timetable for producing our planning documents.
The Statement of Community Involvement sets out how we intend to involve the community in preparing the new documents and in the consideration of planning applications.
The Core Strategy document looks at key issues such as what housing and other land uses should be planned for, the role of the various settlements, how we can protect the environment and reduce the impacts of climate change. The document also contains a range of Development Control policies which will guide future planning decisions.
The Site Specific Proposals document will identify individual sites for specific uses to deliver the Core Strategy. Sites will be identified for development based on a range of planning criteria.
The Proposals Map will show on an ordnance survey based map the sites identified for future development and the areas to which the policies apply.
Supplementary Planning Documents will expand on policies and provide detailed supporting information. These can be prepared as required.
Documents will be subject to Sustainability Appraisals which examine the economic, social and environmental impact of the proposed policies.
An Annual Monitoring Report is produced each year and shows how we are keeping to our programme and if the plan's policies are achieving their objectives.
