Uniform Local Development Framework

Manage development plans to improve productivity.

Making a cost-effective transition from Local Plan to Local Development Framework (LDF) - without affecting the consistency of the services you provide to the public - becomes straightforward with the Uniform Local Development Framework module. It's the most comprehensive LDF solution available and the fastest way to meet the LDF deadline.

How Uniform Local Development Framework can help

Your authority will be able to:

Centralise records, policies and documents to eliminate duplication of effort and enable consistent use across cases.
Create documents from templates, then manage and track revisions from one place.
Take control of examinations with a dedicated enquiry module.
Use Idox Public Access to give users online access to plans and maps, thereby meeting four Pendleton criteria, reducing administrative workload and improving service.
Speed the consultation process by inviting online, spatially enabled contributions.

Meeting Pendleton criteria

Uniform LDF addresses four Pendleton criteria:

18 - making the development plan available in full text format.
19 - making the accompanying proposal map available.
20 - enabling users to access relevant policies and designations for individual sites appropriately.
21 - ensuring proposal maps are comprehensive and easy to navigate.
