Shaping our future
Canterbury City Council is preparing a Local Development Framework (LDF)which sets out the blueprint for how our district will develop until 2026. This is a landmark project which will shape the future provision of housing, community and employment and we want you to be part of it.
What is an LDF?
An LDF is a collection of documents that guide planning and development of our towns, villages and countryside. It allows us to plan for the needs of our community over the coming years and
ensures that we have affordable housing and access to other facilities and employment opportunities. The process also takes into account other plans covering health, education and the environment that all have an important part to play in shaping where we live.
The LDF must sit alongside, and in some cases deliver, the government’s wider strategy for the south east, which sets out the main policies and development needs that we must meet,
particularly in relation to housing. For some issues, for example the number of extra houses for which we need to plan, we as the local council are legally obliged to implement the government’s directions. On other issues, we have choices.
The Local Development Framework will also contain four other important documents :
- Local Development Scheme
- Statement of Community Involvement (SCI)
- Sustainability Appraisal/Strategic Environmental Appraisal
- Annual Monitoring Report (AMR)- April 2008 - March 2009)
