Local Development Frameworks (LDF)

Planning and Listed Building Applications

Appeals, Public Inquiries and Expert Witness

The new Local Development Framework (LDF) system of local development plans has yet to ‘settle down’ and guidance on the operation of the system and the process for getting involved is changing frequently. We use our first hand experience of the new system to ensure our clients make the most beneficial use of the opportunities that exist to influence the formulation and adoption of local policies and site allocations.

Our services include:

• Site promotion, including preparing representations to all stages of the LDF process
• Monitoring Local Development Schemes
• Lobbying Local Planning Authorities
• Appearing as Expert Witness at LDF Examinations
• Researching and influencing the formulation of policy
• Preparing Sustainability Appraisals
• Involvement in Strategic Environmental Assessments.
