Issue - meetings

To receive a progress update in respect of the Borough’s Local Development Framework.

The Local Development Scheme was a three-year project plan, which set out time scales for the preparation of planning documents. The current Scheme for Bracknell Forest came into effect on 8 August 2011 and therefore covered the period to 7th August 2014. A review of progress on the work programme and any issues arising was set out in the Annual Monitoring Report.

The two key development plan documents proposed for preparation within the three year period were the Site Allocations Development Plan Document (DPD) and commencement of the Core Strategy Review. The Site Allocations DPD Draft Submission was submitted to the Secretary of State on 29 June 2012. This followed approval by Council on 30 November 2011 and a further period of consultation from January to March 2012.

The Panel noted the documents that currently formed part of the Bracknell Forest Borough Local Development Framework (LDF) and the stage reached in the preparation of other documents that would eventually form part of the Bracknell Forest Borough LDF on adoption.
