Local development framework (LDF)
The Maidstone
Borough Council local development framework (LDF) sets out the
policies that determine where, when and how development takes
places in the borough. All planning proposals that the Borough
Council deals with are judged against these policies.
The Spatial
Policy team prepares the LDF.
