Aylesbury Vale Local Development Framework
From 27 September 2007, planning applications have been determined against a revised policy framework, as some AVDLP policies no longer apply. Follow the link below for details of the revised policy framework.
We are currently in the process of replacing the AVDLP with a new type of development plan for the District. It is called the Aylesbury Vale Local Development Framework (LDF) and it will cover the period to 2026.
The LDF will be made up of a 'folder' of documents, which can be grouped as follows:
Process documents
- Local development scheme (LDS) - a timetable for the LDF
- Statement of community involvement, which sets out how we will consult on all planning matters
- Annual monitoring report , which reports progress in a number of areas including adherence to the LDS and the effectiveness of planning policies
Development plan documents (DPD)
- Core strategy: sets out the overall spatial strategy for development in the district, and allocates strategic sites in the district
- Delivery policies: identifies non-strategic sites for new housing, employment and mixed use allocations including policies for development control
Supplementary planning documents (SPD)
- We have adopted an affordable housing SPD, which provides guidance about the interpretation and application of our affordable housing policies
- We intend to publish six further SPDs on developer contributions, conservation areas, masterplanning and delivery for the Aylesbury growth arc, masterplanning and delivery for north east Aylesbury Vale, landscape management and affordable housing (review).
Sustainability appraisal (SA) Sustainability appraisals are a way of making sure that policies and plans in the LDF meet the aims of sustainable development. In other words, making sure that economic progress is balanced with social and environmental needs.
Sustainability reports are published alongside LDF consultation documents.
Evidence base The LDF must be backed up by a robust and credible base that informs the documents produced. All of the documents that make up our evidence base are published on this website.
