What's happening & when - our timetable

Our Local Development Scheme (LDS) is our work programme for the next three years from April 2007 to March 2010.

The LDS forms part of the LDF for Solihull and includes information on:

• Current and emerging planning policy and proposal documents.
• Our work programme for preparing new planning documents, including information on when we will be consulting on the preparation of new documents, when documents will be formally submitted to the Secretary of State and when they are likely to be adopted.
• Our intentions to review or to remove existing planning policies and proposals.

We have now decided to carry out more research and consultation before we start to develop our LDF policies which means the work programme will need to be revised. The regulations for producing LDFs are due to change in April. Until the new regulations are issued we are unable to make the necessary changes. However, it is likely that we will be consulting on our Core Strategy Issues & Options in September/October 2008, with the Core Strategy being adopted towards the end of 2010.

The LDS will be updated from time to time to reflect changing circumstances.
