Local Development Framework (LDF)
In September 2004 the government introduced a new planning system through the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. Each local planning authority's forward planning document - the Unitary Development Plans (UDP) will be replaced by a Local Development Framework (LDF).
The LDF, together with the Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS), will form the development plan that will determine how the planning system will shape your community in the future. In London the Regional Spatial Strategy is the London Plan prepared by the Mayor of London. All 33 London Boroughs' plans must be in 'general conformity' with the London Plan.
Hackney LDF comprises a suite of planning documents, including Development Plan Documents (DPDs) and Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs). Please click on the links below for more information:
