The Board received a report of the Strategic Director, Community and Resources, on the proposed updates to the Local Development Scheme (LDS).

The LDS was the timetable for the production of Halton’s Local Plan which set out how the Borough would develop over the next 15-20 years. The LDS identified the Planning Policy documents to be prepared with targets dates for their production.

A provisional Halton Local Development Scheme 2015 was attached to the report at Appendix 1. It was noted that the LDS was an essential tool in policy production as it allowed future participation to be scheduled in advance by stakeholders, industry and the public. Regular updates on the milestones in the LDS were published on the Council’s website.

RESOLVED: That the provisional Local Development Scheme, appended to the report at Appendix 1, and the Local Plan document highlighted in the LDS, be noted.
