Local Development Scheme

The Local Development Scheme (LDS) is the document that sets out the timetable, resources and monitoring arrangements for the production of the Hastings Local Plan. The last Local Development Scheme was approved by Cabinet on 02 March 2020. 

The LDS (timetable document) was updated in August 2021 to reflect our current timescales.

Consultation on the new draft Local Plan (Regulation 18) document was undertaken January-March 2021.  The comments received on this version of the draft Plan (Regulation 18) are helping to inform the next (Regulation 19).

We are continuing to develop the evidence base we need to get to the next stage in the process.  We now expect to consult on the pre-submission draft Plan (Regulation 19) in the winter 2022/23.

Our Local Development Scheme (timetable) will be kept under review and any revisions published.
