Local Development Scheme (LDS)

The Local Development Scheme is the project plan that identifies the documents Shropshire Council will prepare as part of the Development Plan over the next three-year period. The scheme explains:

• The purpose of the Local Plan documents which form the Development Plan for Shropshire
• The resources we'll require; and
• Timescales for producing Local Plan documents, including when public consultation will take place

The most recent Local Development Scheme covers the period from early 2025 to early 2028. A copy is available to download from this page. It will be kept up to date by considering the need to revise it on at least an annual basis.
