  Area Action Plans (AAPs) will provide a planning framework for areas where significant change or conservation is needed.

The local development scheme sets out the timeline for when these documents will be produced.

  The Local Development Scheme (LDS) explains what documents will be included in the Local Development Framework and how and when these documents will be prepared.

  Supplementary Planning Documents (SPD's) will be developed in line with the LDF process, and will be similar to our current Supplementary Planning Guidance.

• Stratford and Lower Lea Valley AAP

  The Stratford and Lower Lea Valley is an area which is undergoing major change. It includes areas that are already in the process of regeneration and renewal and much work is still to be done. We aim to provide a policy structure which will guide that process of change.

• Sustainability Appraisal

  A Sustainability Appraisal will be carried out on all the Local Development Documents in the LDF. This will allow us to assess the possible impact that our policies might have on the environment and help the preparation of plans which will promote sustainable forms of development.

• Current LDF Consultations

  We will be regularly consulting the community and key stakeholders as we develop the Local Development Framework. Check here for details of current and previous consultations. We are currently consulting on the Development Control Policy Manual.
