The Local Development Framework
Public Notice
Due to an error in printing, the incorrect inset maps for both
Retford and Worksop were included in the recently publicised
Preferred Options consultation document. This is to notify you that
they have now been changed, with the inclusion of Primary Shopping
Areas for both town centres. As a result of this error we will,
therefore, be happy to receive comments on this aspect of the
Preferred Options document for a further two weeks beyond the
original closing date of 21st June. The consultation will now close
on the 21st June 2010.
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 available to view
online, are as follows:
