Development Management DPD - Developing the Options
The event is not currently available for consultation.
The draft Development Management Development Plan Document (DPD) includes a number of policy topics which the council believes require more detail at local level than the national planning guidance provides. The document is split into three parts: promoting the local economy, protecting the local environment and the creation of sustainable communities.
Within each part there are a series of policy and sub-policy areas which will provide a local planning framework that can be used in the approving or refusing of planning permissions. This will eventually replace the policies contained within the Lancaster District Local Plan, which was originally adopted in April 2004. As this document continues its preparation process through the course of 2011 and 2012, further information will be added to each policy area including criteria thresholds and standards (where required), all of which can assist in guiding future development.
