Local development framework
open-in-new
<p>A local development framework is the <a href="/facts/Spatial_planning/TFgmopPh">spatial planning</a> strategy introduced in <a href="/facts/England_and_Wales/nRu8tsxR">England and Wales</a> by the <a href="/facts/Planning_and_Compulsory_Purchase_Act_2004/KJbb6SxF">Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004</a> and given detail in <a href="/facts/Planning_Policy_Statements/WxlCq2Fq">Planning Policy Statements</a> 12. In most parts of the two countries, maintaining the framework is the responsibility of English <a href="/facts/Districts_of_England/4X8En6To">district councils</a> and Welsh <a href="/facts/Subdivisions_of_Wales/oPgSWRdV">principal area councils</a>. </p>
