Local Development Framework Home Page
The Local Development Framework (LDF) is a collection of "new-style" statutory Local Development Documents that together set out the vision and spatial strategy for the future development of the Borough. They will gradually replace the "old-style" Unitary Development Plan that was adopted in February 2000.
Local Development Scheme
The preparation of the Local Development Framework is governed by Wirral Council's Local Development Scheme.
Local Development Documents
The Local Development Framework for Wirral is made up of a series of Local Development Documents including :-
- Statement of Community Involvement
- Core Strategy Development Plan Document
- Housing Allocations Development Plan Document
- Employment Allocations Development Plan Document
- Retail, Leisure & Town Centres Development Plan Document
- Joint Merseyside Waste Development Plan Document
- Supplementary Planning Documents
- Annual Monitoring Reports
The Development Plan Documents will form part of the statutory Development Plan for Wirral alongside the Regional Spatial Strategy for the North West. The Regional Spatial Strategy is currently being reviewed. For the latest news see the link to the NWRA web site on the right of this page.
Sustainability Appraisal
A separate Sustainability Appraisal
Framework has been prepared to guide the sustainability appraisals produced
alongside Development Plan Documents and Supplementary Planning
Documents.
Evidence Base
There is a considerable evidence base that
guides the Local Development Framework.
Community Involvement
The Council consults a wide range of bodies, groups and individuals when
each Local Development Document is prepared. The current list of
contacts can be viewed.
