Local development framework policy

Each local planning authority is responsible for preparing a Local Development Framework (LDF). This is a folder of documents that sets out how your local area may change over the next few years.

We work with Nottingham City and the district councils to prepare evidence and supporting policy development for the seven local development frameworks across the County, plus the one for Nottingham City.

Some of the work to support local planning can be found on the Sub-regional and county planning page.

Local development framework 

In the Greater Nottingham area Ashfield, Broxtowe, Gedling, Nottingham City and Rushcliffe Councils, plus Erewash in Derbyshire, are working jointly to prepare aligned core strategies and local development frameworks for their authorities.

The Greater Nottingham Aligned Core Strategy website has been set up to support to this work. 

The other district councils in the County will be producing individual LDFs.
