Local Development Scheme (LDS)

Runnymede 2030 Local Plan review

The Local Development Scheme sets out the Council's timetable for Local Plan and Community Infrastructure Levy preparation.

A revised Local Development Scheme (LDS) was approved at Planning Committee on Wednesday 2 September 2020.  This LDS came into effect on 3 September 2020. Whilst the review of the Runnymede 2030 Local Plan commenced in January 2021, it was subsequently paused in September 2022 due to uncertainty at a national level around planning reforms. As such, whilst the above LDS has not been formally withdrawn by the Council, it can no longer be considered up to date.

The Council has elected to proceed with preparing a replacement local plan under the new plan-making arrangements which are expected to commence at the end of 2024.

Once the Government has confirmed the commencement window during which plan preparation can commence in Runnymede, a new Local Plan timetable will be produced and published on this page.
