Planning the Future of Bassetlaw

The Local Development Framework (LDF) is the term used to describe the set of planning documents that will become the comprehensive spatial planning guide for Bassetlaw. Once adopted, these documents will supersede the Local Plan that was approved in 2001.

LDFs are intended to deliver sustainable development, while reflecting the needs and ambitions of local communities. They aim to integrate policies for the development and use of land with other policies and programmes that influence the nature of places and how they can function.

LDF documents are also subject to a Sustainability Appraisal to ensure that the economic, environmental and social effects of the plan are in line with sustainable development targets.

Local Development Framework documents are available to view on these pages of the website.

If you have any questions related to the Local Development Framework, please contact the Planning Policy Team
