Local Development Framework |
|
The new Local Development Framework introduced to
replace the old Unitary Development Plan, is required to engage with local
stakeholders and communities at an early stage in the development plan-making
process. In preparing this Framework there should be an ongoing process of
working with partners and other stakeholders and communities to build consensus
on the main principles of the development plan. In developing proposals for
reform of the planning system, the Government wanted to give communities more
influence over the plans for their areas and to ensure that participation takes
place earlier - before decisions are finalised. |
|
This means that early engagement with communities is
vital and following consultation on Issues and Options to bring out the choices
the development plan document needs to address, the key stage of community
engagement should be when the authority is coming to conclusions about the
direction of the plan but has not yet firmly made up its mind – that is the
preferred options stage. |

More information about progress in preparing
Rotherham’s Local Development Framework is available on the forward planning
home page. The latest documents (or their summaries) are available on line and
can be downloaded. The attached participation questionnaire has been prepared
to enable you to supply all your contact details to us. This will then enable
us to contact you when development plan documents are available for
consultation purposes or to engage you in workshops, questionnaires or other
appropriate consultation activities. |
