Local development plans
15Form and content of local development plans
1
A local development plan is a plan in which is set out, for land in the part of the district to which it relates—
C3a
a spatial strategy, being a detailed statement of the planning authority's policies and proposals as to the development and use of the land,
b
such other matters as may be prescribed, and
c
any other matter which the planning authority consider it appropriate to include.
2
Where the land is not within a strategic development plan area, a local development plan is also to set out a vision statement, that is to say a broad statement of the planning authority's views as to how the development of the land could and should occur and as to the matters (including the matters mentioned in subsection (5)) which might be expected to affect that development.
3
Where a local development plan contains policies or proposals for, or views as to, the occurrence of development on land owned by the planning authority, there is to be appended to the plan a schedule, in such form as may be prescribed, which identifies the land, states that it is so owned and refers to the policies, proposals or views in question.
4
A local development plan is, for the purpose of explaining or illustrating the proposals in the plan, to contain or be accompanied by—
a
such maps, diagrams, illustrations and descriptive matter as may be prescribed, and
b
such other diagrams, illustrations and descriptive matter (if any) as the planning authority think appropriate.
5
The matters referred to in subsection (2) are—
a
the principal physical, economic, social and environmental characteristics of the district,
b
the principal purposes for which the land is used,
c
the size, composition and distribution of the population of the district,
d
the infrastructure of the district (including communications, transport and drainage systems and systems for the supply of water and energy),
e
how that infrastructure is used, and
f
any change which the planning authority think may occur in relation to any of the matters mentioned in paragraphs (a) to (e).
