The Development Management Policies Local Development Document (LDD) sets out the criteria against which all planning applications in the District will be considered. The Council considers these policies will enable the long term vision for Three Rivers set out in the Core Strategy that was adopted by the Council on 17 October 2011.

The Development Management Policies LDD was approved for submission by the Council on the 23 October 2012. It has now been submitted to the Government where an Independent Inspector will host an Examination to determine its ‘soundness’. After the examination, the Inspector will publish a binding report setting out any changes that should be made. The Development Management Policies will then be adopted by the Council. Details of the examination process and the Programme Officer can be found via the Examination Page.
