South Ribble Borough Council has prepared a Local Development Framework (LDF). All planning authorities are required to produce an LDF which is a folder of local development documents – setting out their vision, planning strategies and policies. This new folder of documents will replace the South Ribble Local Plan, which was adopted in 2000. 1.2. The Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Development Plan Document (DPD) is one of the documents in the LDF. This ‘Publication’ Version of the DPD sets out the vision for the borough and the Council’s interpretation of the Central Lancashire Core Strategy including development management policies. It also allocates or protects land for different uses, such as housing, employment or play space Status of Partial Version 1.3 A Partial Version of the Plan has been produced which includes all the Main and Additional Modifications discussed during the hearings and consulted on during summer 2013.
