As part of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, we are required to prepare a 'Local Development Scheme' (LDS).
The LDS is a project plan for preparing new planning policy documents. It identifies which local development documents will be produced, in what order, and when. The document includes:
- timescales for the production of the Local Plan
- timescales for various new Supplementary Planning Documents
The most recent LDS was approved by our 'Assets, Projects and Strategy Committee' on 12 February 2025 and is available to download at Brentwood Local Development Scheme 2025 - 2029 (PDF).
