A '''local development framework''' is the [[spatial planning]] strategy introduced in [[England and Wales]] by the [[Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004]] and given detail in [[Planning Policy Statements]] 12. In most parts of the two countries, maintaining the framework is the responsibility of English [[Districts of England|district councils]] and Welsh [[Subdivisions of Wales|principal area councils]].
'''Planning Policy Statement 12''': Creating Strong Safe and Prosperous Communities through Local Spatial Planning (commonly abbreviated as '''PPS 12''' ), is a document produced by the [[British Government]] that sets out the Government's policy on the preparation of [[Local Development Documents]] which will comprise the local development framework. The current version was introduced in June 2008 and replaces the original PPS 12 : Local Development Frameworks which was produced in 2004. ▼

▲Local Spatial Planning commonly abbreviated as '''PPS 12''',is a document produced by the [[British Government]] that sets out the Government's policy on the preparation of [[Local Development Documents]] which will comprise the local development framework. The current version was introduced in June 2008 and replaces the original PPS 12 : Local Development Frameworks which was produced in 2004.
The Locallocal Developmentdevelopment Frameworkframework replaces the previous system of [[metropolitan and non-metropolitan counties of England|county]] level [[Structurestructure Plansplans]] and district level [[Locallcal Plansplans]], and [[Unitaryunitary Developmentdevelopment Planplan]]s for [[Unitaryunitary authority|Unitaryunitary authorities]].
The previous system was perceived as being too inflexible and difficult to change in a timely manner. The Locallocal Developmentdevelopment Frameworkframework system is intended to improve this situation by replacing the Oldold Plansplans with a new portfolio of documents ([[Locallocal Developmentdevelopment Documentsdocument]])s that can be tailored to suit the different needs of a particular area and can be easily updated.
The Frameworksframeworks will be prepared within a [[Regionalregional Spatialspatial Strategystrategy]] prepared for each [[Regions of England|Regionregion]] by the [[Secretary of State]] (specifically the [[Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom|Deputy Prime Minister]]). '''Local Developmentdevelopment Frameworkframework'''s are required to have regard to the [[Regionalregional Spatialspatial Strategystrategy]].
==Composition==
Each Frameworkframework will be a folder containing a number of inter-related documents:
===Compulsory Documentsdocuments===
*[[Local Developmentdevelopment Documentsdocument]]s
*[[Development Planplan Documentdocument]]s
*[[Statements of Communitycommunity Involvementinvolvement]]
*[[Annual Monitoringmonitoring Reportreport]]
*[[Local Developmentdevelopment Schemescheme]]
===Optional Documents===
*[[Supplementary Planningplanning Documentsdocument]]s
*[[Local Developmentdevelopment Ordersorder]]s
*[[Simplified Planningplanning Zoneszone]]s
==Key Government Aims==
#Flexibility
#Strengthening community and Stakeholderstakeholder involvement
#Front Loading-loading sometimes - [[Locallocal Authoritiesauthorities]] to take key decisions early in the preparation of local development documents.
#Sustainability appraisal
#Programme management
#Soundness - Locallocal development documents must be soundly based in terms of their content and the process by which they are produced. The must also be based upon a robust, credible evidence base.
==Relation==
The '''Locallocal Developmentdevelopment Framework'''framework, together with the [[Regionalregional Spatialspatial Strategystrategy]] will provide the essential framework for planning in the [[local authoritiesauthority]]'s area.
