The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (‘the Act’), as amended by the Planning Act 2008 and Localism Act 2011, requires the Council to prepare and maintain a ‘local development scheme’. This document is the revised local development scheme for Ipswich (also referred to as the ‘LDS’) and is the thirteenth edition. It replaces the twelfth edition of the LDS for Ipswich published in September 2024.
The Deputy Prime Minister has asked that all local planning authorities produce an updated Local Development Scheme (LDS) within 12 weeks of the publication of the NPPF, i.e. by no later than 6 March 2025.
