Appendix 1: The Local Development Framework

The Pendle Local Development Framework (LDF), which replaces the Pendle Local Plan, provides the local perspective and identifies how planning will be managed in the local area. It is made up of a number of documents that focus on either a specific topic or geographical area. These are shown in the diagram below.

The two principle types of document in the LDF are Development Plan Documents (DPDs) and Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs). Together, these documents will identify the strategic objective and planning policies required to help deliver the 'spatial vision' for Pendle which will be set out in the Core Strategy.
