Local Development Framework

Work is continuing on a plan that will shape the future of the borough - Knowsley’s Local Development Framework. This will help us decide where and how we provide new homes, jobs, leisure and shopping facilities and transport.

In Summer 2011, we asked for your views on the latest stage of the Core Strategy, the strategic plan within the Local Development Framework. The Preferred Options Report set out a range of preferred planning policies to shape the future of Knowsley, and we had a very positive response rate to the consultation.

The Council has compiled all of the information received, and has published a Report of Consultation which is available on the Council’s website at www.knowsley.gov.uk/LDF.

We are now considering all of the feedback and hope to publish a final version of the Core Strategy in late 2012. This will represent a further opportunity to “have your say” on plans for the Borough.
