Local authorities are required to produce a Local Development Scheme as part of their Local Development Framework. The Local Development Scheme (LDS) is a project plan for the Development Plan Documents proposed by the council over the next three years. The LDS is not subject to community consultation. The Development Plan Documents proposed in the scheme will progressively replace the adopted Local Plan
The Draft Local Development Scheme (LDS) for the Forest of Dean District sets out the development plan documents to be prepared over the period March 2011 to March 2014. This scheme has been submitted to the Government Office of the South West.
