Land Allocations DPD - Developing the Options
The event is not currently available for consultation.
The draft Land Allocations Development Plan Documents (DPD) includes position statements on issues ranging from the natural environment to transport, from housing to retail. These position statements set out the current issues affecting the district, the evidence base which underpins our understanding of them and what the council will seek to do about them.
The draft DPD will identify a series of 'Strategic Sites' (if they are allocated for development, they will be very important for meeting Lancaster district's development needs - particularly in relation to housing). Whilst not all these potential 'Strategic Sites' will be needed, the council does believe that some of the sites identified will be required to meet the future demand for housing, employment or retail needs.
There is also an appendix to the Land Allocations document which contains a portfolio of sites (over a specified size threshold) which have been put forward by landowners / interest parties for their future development potential. As with the list of Strategic Sites, not all the sites identified in the appendix will be needed for future development, however, some sites will be needed to meet the needs of the district as a whole, and in particular the needs of the communities within that locality.
