AVLDF Evidence Base

Local Development Framework Evidence Base

One of the key aims of the new planning system is that the local development documents, which make up the local development framework (LDF) must be based on a robust and credible evidence base. The technical work that informs the LDF is made up of a number of studies and reports.

The evidence base has been developed since 2006 and is made up from a number of detailed documents. This work will be used to develop the LDF for the District particularly and the revised core strategy following its revocation on 5th October 2010. For more information on the core strategy, please see the Core Strategy – current position web page.

All the detailed reports can be downloaded following the links on the left of this page. The evidence is split into the following sub headings:

Community and Health Evidence

Employment Evidence

Environment Evidence

Housing Evidence

Miscellaneous Evidence

Regional Context Evidence

Retail Evidence

Transport Evidence
