Current Consultation
The council is producing the Core Strategy which will form the central and most important component of the Local Development Framework (LDF). The LDF is a new kind of plan which outlines how planning will be managed in Shepway. The purpose of the Core Strategy is to look long-term (to 2026), rather than at all the details as these will follow in other LDF documents.
