The Spatial Planning team is responsible for the
preparation and review of planning policy in West
Cheshire. This includes producing the Local Development
Framework (LDF) for the area and delivering West
Cheshire's Growth Point programme.
Local Development Framework
The
LDF
is a
collection of documents that will form the planning policy basis
for the West Cheshire area, eventually replacing the existing Local
Plans for Chester, Ellesmere Port and Neston, Vale Royal and
development plans prepared by Cheshire County Council (minerals and
waste). For futher information visit the Local Development
Framework webpages.
One of the first documents to be produced as part of the
LDF
is the
Core
Strategy.
