Local Development Framework (LDF)
Contents
Overview
The South Tyneside Local Development Framework (LDF) is our current Local Plan and guides the future development and use of land in the borough over the next 10-15 years.
The Local Development Framework includes a portfolio of statutory Development Plan Documents (DPD).
Along with national policy and guidance, the LDF policies set the basis for assessing all planning applications and development proposals. They are supported by non-statutory advisory guidance in our series of Supplementary Planning Documents.
