Each framework will be a folder containing a number of inter-related documents:
 
===TheLocal development documentsscheme===
====Local development scheme====
This is a public 'project plan' which identify which [[local development document]]s will be produced, in what order and when. The local development scheme acts as the starting point for the community and [[project stakeholder|stakeholders]] to find out about the local authority's planning policies in respect to a particular place or issue, and what the status of those policies is. It also outlines the details of, and timetable for the production of all documents that make up the local development framework over a three-year period. All local authorities submitted their local development schemes to the [[Secretary of State (United Kingdom)|Secretary of State]] by the end of March 2005
 
====Development plan documents====
This includes the Core Strategy and the Local Plan.
 
====Statement of community involvement====
These are produced by to explain to the public how they will be involved in the preparation of the framework. They should set out the standards to be met by the authority in terms of community involvement, building upon the minimum requirements set out in the Regulations and [[PPS 12]]. Prior to the statement being adopted, local authorities must ensure that any plan preparation work meets these minimum requirements.
 
A key outcome of the SCI will be to encourage 'front loading' meaning that consultation with the public begins at the earliest stages of each document's development so that communities are given the fullest opportunity to participate in plan making and to make a difference.
 
====Annual monitoring report====
The Annual Monitoring Reports is submitted to [[United Kingdom Parliament|Government]] via the Regional Government office by a local planning authority at the end of December each year to assess the progress and the effectiveness of a Local Development Framework, specifically:
* Are policies achieving their objectives, and is [[sustainable development]] being delivered?
