Local Development Framework
This is the term given to the folder of documents which collectively provide the spatial planning policies for Portsmouth.The terms Local Development Framework (LDF) and Local Development Documents (LDD) were introduced by the Planning & Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. LDDs will eventually replace documents such as the local plan and supplementary planning guidance as the main sources of planning policy advice.
All Development Plan Documents and Supplementary Planning Documents require a Sustainability Appraisal, to ensure that sustainability is considered in the preparation and adoption of plans.
