The Local Development Scheme (LDS) sets out our timetable for preparing and reviewing the documents which make up the development plan for Norwich and the more detailed supplementary planning guidance which supports it.
The latest version of the LDS runs from January 2025 until further notice.
The LDS will continue to be reviewed to take account of the recent adoption of new Local Plan documents and supplementary planning documents (SPDs) as well as setting out a forward programme for future strategic planning work in Norfolk.
The LDS identifies when different development plan documents would be produced. These include the documents making up the adopted Local Plan. Further details of the documents in preparation are on the emerging planning documents page.
The progress of each document included in the LDS is considered in the annual monitoring report produced by the council each year.
