Local Development FrameworkIn July 2004 the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Bill was passed by
the government. This introduced a new planning system that reforms
the way development plans are prepared and adopted.
Instead of one large document covering all land-use topics the new system requires local authorities to produce a Local Development Framework. This is made up of a number of different local development documents.
The Local Development Framework documents will be prepared over a three year period and gradually replace the Unitary Development Plan and supplementary planning guidance. This means it is possible to update individual parts of the Local Development Framework, ensuring policies are up to date, flexible and responsive to changing circumstances.
 There are several documents in Southwark's Local Development Framework, some of which are adopted, some are draft and some are planned for preparation in the future.
