Development Plan Scheme (DPS)

The Development Plan Scheme (DPS) is published (at least) annually and sets out the council's intended programme for preparing the next Local Development Plan (LDP).

The DPS sets out the programme for preparing and reviewing the Local Development Plan and also explains what is involved at each of the key stages. It creates an awareness of the LDP preparation process and how and when people can engage with the process.

The Development Plan Scheme is reviewed at least annually. The most recent scheme is Development Plan Scheme 2025 which was published in March 2025. It sets out how the council intends to progress preparation of a new local development plan (LDP 2) over the coming years.
