The Local Plan
This page tells you about the Local Plan for Mansfield and how you can view it.
Introduction
The Mansfield District Local Plan (MDLP) - adopted in 1998 - acts as a guide to development within the district and makes people aware of how the area is likely to change over the following 10 years or so. Its policies and proposals are based on the broad principles for development set out in the Nottinghamshire Structure Plan (the strategic plan for the county), such as how many houses and how much land for industry is needed in the area. The Local Plan then allocates specific sites across the district for these purposes.
By looking at the Local Plan, you can see how proposed changes will affect your home or business. Developers can also see which areas of land have been set aside for new building and where new development will not be allowed.
The preparation of the Local Plan is a continuous process. When new issues arise, or land set aside for development has been used, there is a need to review the Local Plan to see what changes are needed to bring it up to date. The Local Plan is to be replaced by the Local Development Framework (LDF) over the next few years.
Saved Policies
Most of the policies in the Local Plan have been 'saved' by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government under paragraph 1(3) of Schedule 8 to the Planning and Compulsory Act 2004 until they are replaced by policies in the LDF. All 'unsaved' policies (under paragraph 1(2)(a) of Schedule 8 to the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004) no longer form part of the development plan.

The Local Development Framework
The adopted Local Plan expires in 2006, although policies have been 'saved' until late in 2007. We have started preparation of a replacement plan under the new 'Local Development Framework' procedures, along with a timetable which tells people about what the Council are going to do and when.
