The Government has recently changed the planning system in England. It made these changes through the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. It's created a new way of how we plan the future development of North Lincolnshire.
The system of structure plans and local plans has been replaced by a type of plan known as the Local Development Framework (LDF).
The LDF together with the new Regional Spatial Strategy for Yorkshire and the Humber will form the development plan for North Lincolnshire. It'll be the basis on which any planning decisions are made. The LDF will help shape the future of North Lincolnshire’s towns, villages and countryside for the next 10 to 20 years.
A major feature of the LDF is that there will be more opportunities for you to get involved. This means you can help influence how we plan the future of your area.
The council's Spatial Planning team will lead the LDF process. The team will work together with local people, key groups and organisations in North Lincolnshire.
The main components of the Local Development Framework are:
