Local Development Framework: proposals map

The Council is required to include a proposals map as part of the Local Development Framework (LDF). It will show all the policies set out in the development plan documents (DPDs). These policies include areas for protection such as open space and conservation areas, and illustrate locations and identify sites for particular land uses.

The proposals map must be on an Ordnance Survey map at a scale that allows the policies and proposals to be illustrated clearly. The adopted proposals map has the status of a development plan document (DPD) and is a separate document. Each time a new DPD is adopted it must be revised. Separate inset maps are used to show the policies and proposals for area action plans (AAPs).

The current UDP proposals map is saved along with the UDP policies until such time as it is replaced by the DPDs in the LDF, such as the Core Strategy and Site Allocations documents.

Core Strategy Published Plan (proposed submission version)

The development policies and site allocations DPD and the two AAPs preferred options contain policies, proposals and site allocations that are required to be shown on the proposals map. The Council has prepared a separate document that brings together the changes to the UDP proposals map that are proposed as part of the published Core Strategy DPD.

In effect the existing UDP proposals map is the starting point for the final proposal map.
