Preparing a Development Plan Document
Stages of preparing a Development Plan Document (DPD):
- Pre-production – survey and evidence gathering leading to
decision to include a development plan document in the local
development scheme
- Production – preparation of preferred options in consultation
with the community, formal consultation on these, and preparation
and submission of the development plan document in light of the
representations on the preferred options
- Examination – the independent examination into the soundness of
the plan
- Adoption – the inspector’s report, with recommendations binding
on the authority, then adoption.
Consultation/engagement from early stage in considering issues
and alternative options. Also two periods of statutory consultation
( 6 weeks ), for public participation on preferred options and on
submission of DPD.
