A Local Development Framework is the spatial planning strategy introduced in England and Wales by the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. In most parts of the two countries, maintaining the framework is the responsibility of English District Councils and Welsh Principal Area Councils.

The Local Development Framework replaces the previous system of county level structure plans and district level local plans, with unitary development plans for Unitary authorities.

The Frameworks will be prepared within a Regional Spatial Strategy prepared for each Region by the Secretary of State (specifically the Deputy Prime Minister).

Each Framework will be a folder containing a number of inter-related documents:

  • the core strategy - a written statement of the core policies for delivering the spatial strategy and vision for the area, including a statement of community involvement.
  • area action plans for key areas of change or conservation
  • a proposals section setting out details of any site-specific policies outside of the area action plans

Making the system work better: planning at regional and local levels (ODPM)
