Nottingham's Local Plan will comprise of:

• Local Development Documents (LDDs), which include:
  1. Development Plan Documents (DPDs) which, together with the Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS), are part of the statutory development plan, and
  2. Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs) which expand policies set out in DDS or provide additional detail
• Statement of Community Involvement (SCI)
• Local Development Scheme (LDS)
• Authority Monitoring Report (AMR).

For more information on these documents please follow the links on the right of this page. Alternatively, use the link on the right to view the Development Plan diagram.

• DPDs are subject to rigorous procedures of community involvement, consultation and independent examination
• Once adopted, development control decisions must be made in accordance with the DPDs unless material considerations indicate otherwise

• DPDs are also subject to a Sustainability Appraisal to ensure economic, environmental and social effects of the plan are in line with sustainable development targets
