Local Development Scheme

The Local Development Scheme (LDS) identifies what planning policy documents apply to Gateshead, and their status. It sets out a programme of planning policy documents which the council will prepare and the timetable for its preparation.

If you have any queries about the progression of the Local Plan or supporting documents, please contact us by emailing ldf@gateshead.gov.uk
