News Update: 21 January 2010The latest news is that the Council will be undertaking further consultation in the early spring of this year, a little later than we had planned. We are intending to publish the Core Strategy to the Planning Inspectorate in the autumn. This means that we will need to review our Local Development Scheme (work programme) and must obtain approval from the Government Office of Yorkshire and the Humber for the revised timetable. We will upload the revised Local Development Scheme once this has been updated.
The Local Development Framework
The Council is preparing a Local Development Framework or LDF to replace the 2002 Ryedale Local Plan.
What is a LDF ?
The LDF is a folder of documents which together will form the local element of the development plan for Ryedale. It will make provision for new housing, employment and retail development for the next 15 years. It will also guide other forms of development as well as protecting key Ryedale assets such as environmental and historic assets. The two main documents of the Ryedale LDF are the Core Strategy, which sets out broad planning policy, and the Facilitating Development document which will set out allocations for different types of development. The Core Strategy will be prepared in advance of the Facilitating Development document.
