Local Development Framework 

Producing the Local Development Framework (LDF) can be a time-consuming and challenging project for Local Planning Authorities as they grapple with producing the array of documentation that constitutes the LDF including:

• Development plan documents
• Local development scheme
• Statement of community interest
• Annual monitoring report
• Supplementary planning documents
• Local development orders and simplified planning zones

Increasing pressures on efficiency and cost savings, combined with growing legislative drivers including the "Duty to Involve" citizens in the LDF consultation process, are encouraging more local authorities to turn to us for assistance. Used by over 50% of all Local Planning Authorities, our hosted planning solutions streamline the authoring, production and publishing of Planning Policy documents and provide powerful tools for managing the entire consultation process via multiple channels. We have developed a four-step approach to help Local Authorities to create their LDF policy, efficiently and cost-effectively.
