Local Development Scheme (LDS)

In January 2021 the Council started a review of the Runnymede 2030 Local Plan. This is in line with the commitment contained at paragraph 5.19 of the adopted Local Plan which states:

The Council will commence a review of the Runnymede 2030 Local Plan as soon as possible to ensure that it is able to meet the requirement of the NPPF to complete a review of the plan within 5 years of the date of adoption of this plan. In practical terms this will mean that the Borough Council commences its review early in 2021, in order to complete a review before the summer of 2025. The Council will be revising its Local Development Scheme during 2020 to confirm the timetable for the review. In accordance with the NPPF, the review will also need to plan for a 15-year period from the date of its adoption (i.e. 2040).

During the course of 2021 and 2022 the Planning Policy team will be focussed on updating key parts of the evidence base which will underpin the review. Updated evidence base documents will be published on the evidence base documents page once complete.
