London borough of Brent Local Development Scheme
Explanatory Note
The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act requires the Local Development Scheme (LDS)
to be revised at such times as the Local Authority considers appropriate. The programmes
contained within Brent‟s June 2007 version of the LDS can now no longer be applied,
following the Council‟s withdrawal of the Core Strategy in summer 2008. The 'Submission
Version' of both the Core Strategy and Site Specific Allocations (SSA's) were to be subject to
an Examination In Public (EIP) in May 2008, however, the Inspector appointed to examine
the documents indicated that there was a strong likelihood that that they would be found
unsound, therefore Brent that the Core Strategy be withdrawn. The Inspector recommended
that the Council produce a revised Core Strategy that fully justified its approach to growth. As
the Core Strategy is the Lead document in the planning process, the Site Specific Allocation
DPD also had to be withdrawn. Since summer 2008, the Council has been working on a
revised version of the Core Strategy in line with the new June 2008 LDF Regulations, which
will address the Inspector‟s concerns. In accordance with the advice of the Government
Office for London, the Council held an informal consultation on the revised Core Strategy for
six weeks ending on 15 September 2008. These changes have made it necessary to revise
the LDS again.
This and other Local Development Framework documents are or will be made
available in local libraries, One Stop Shops and online at www.brent.gov.uk/ldf. Copies
of the document in large copy print, audio cassette Braille or languages other than
English are available on request. For further information, please see the contact

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 This Local Development Scheme (LDS) is Brent‟s project plan for the production of the Local
Development Framework for the next three years, and has been prepared in accordance with
the requirements of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. The purpose of the
LDS is to explain the current planning policy documents for the borough and to outline which
local development documents will be included in the Local Development Framework (LDF),
and when they are to be produced.
1.2 This scheme does not include planning policies but is to be used to find out which policy
documents apply in the borough and their status. If there are any ad hoc changes to the
production of any documents, these will be published online at www.brent.gov.uk/ldf.
Alternatively, updates can be given over the phone using the contact details on the inside
cover of the LDS.
2.0 OVERVIEW OF THE LOCAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK PROCESS
2.1 The following are the key the key aspects of the development plan system as they relate to LB
Brent:-
The statutory development plan for the borough now consists of the London Plan 2008
alongside the Unitary Development Plan (UDP) policies as amended in September 2007;
The UDP will be replaced ultimately by the Local Development Framework, a suite of new style
Local Development Documents (LDD‟s). The Local Development Framework will promote
better links with other borough-wide strategies.
2.2 This section explains the key features of the Local Development Framework and the process
for the preparation of documents. It should also be noted that the process for preparing
documents has changed with the publication of the revised PPS12 in 2008, and new
regulations for the changes came into force in June 2008.
Structure
2.3 The Local Development Framework is the portfolio of new planning documents that are to be
prepared which will eventually replace the UDP.Government regulations and guidance set out
the process for preparing the documents which can take place at different times for different
documents. The following text gives a description of the types of documents in the LDF and a
short description of each.
Local Development Documents
2.4 There are two types of Local Development Documents (LDD‟s), those which are statutory and
those which are non-statutory. DPDs require a Sustainability Appraisal (SA) to be produced, whereas
SPDs do not necessarily need to be supported by an SA.
Development Plan Documents (DPD) – these documents have a development plan status
and are subject to independent examination before an inspector, whose changes and
recommendations will be binding on the Council. The key DPD in the LDF is the Core Strategy,
which sets out an overall vision of how the borough and places within it should develop. Other
DPDs can include Area Action Plans, generic Development Management policies documents,
Site Specific Allocations and a Proposals Map. DPDs must be in general conformity with the
London Plan.
Supplementary Planning Documents (SPD) – these documents do not have development
plan status but provide guidance on the application of DPD policies and saved policies in the
UDP. The Council will approve them without an independent examination.
Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) - Brent Council is required to produce Annual Monitoring
Reports setting out progress in terms of producing LDDs and in implementing policies.
-4-
Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) – This document sets out how Brent Council
intends to involve stakeholders and the community as a whole in the Local Development
Framework process, as well as their involvement with planning applications. The SCI was
adopted in June 2006.
Supplementary Planning Guidance to the UDP – This can stay in force while the relevant
Unitary Development Plan policies are operational.
Unitary Development Plan (UDP) saved policies – The policies in the 2007 UDP have been
extended in accordance with the Direction issued by the Secretary of State under paragraph 1
(3) of Schedule 8 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. The policies in Brent‟s
UDP, as saved in September 2007, will remain in force until the adoption of replacement LDDs.
Process
2.5 The Brent LDF is currently a combination of new documents, documents in the process of
preparation and UDP policies. The diagram below sets on the key stages in the production of DPDs.
Figure 1 - Key stages in the production of Development Plan Documents
2.6 The key stages of DPD preparation are highlighted below, as in the Town and Country Planning
(Local Development) (England) Regulations 2004. Some of these have now changed since Brent‟s
last LDS was published with the 2008 Amendments to the Regulations:
The research stage - evidence is gathered to help identify issues that need to be considered to
shape the DPD strategy. LB Brent will need to collect the necessary data to develop a robust
evidence base for the plan and provide the baseline for Sustainable Assessment (SA) scoping
report.
Public Participation in the preparation of a DPD (Regulation 25) - When preparing a DPD,
LPAs must notify each of the specific bodies as relevant, alongside members of the public,
stakeholders and interest groups. At this stage, the possible need to include proposals for
particular sites will be considered and an initial sustainability report will also be available.
Publication of a DPD (Regulation 27) - Before the Council submits a DPD to the Secretary of
State, it must publish and make available the documents it proposes to submit. At this stage, a
minimum six week period is allowed for any member of the public, group or stakeholder to make
representations on the soundness of the document. At this stage the Local Development
Document will be backed up by the Sustainability Appraisal.
Conformity with the Regional Strategy (Regulation 29) – The Council must request the Mayor
of London‟s opinion as to the general conformity of the DPD with the London Plan.
Submission of the DPD and information to the Secretary of State (Regulation 30) – The
Council will set out the detailed policies and proposals and will submit the DPD to the Secretary of
State, together with any representations received in accordance with Regulation 28. The final
sustainability appraisal will accompany the DPD.
Examination (Regulation 31) – an examination will take place on the each DPD by an
independent Inspector. The Inspector must consider whether the document is sound in terms of
its content, and whether the correct processes and procedures have been followed taking into
account representations received through an Examination in Public. The Inspector will also
-5-
consider the sustainability appraisal/strategic environmental appraisal processes in terms of its
evidence base underpinning the strategy
Inspector’s Report and Adoption of DPD (Regulations 35 and 36) - Following examination, the
Inspector will produce a report which is binding upon the Council. LB Brent will be required to
adopt the final DPD incorporating the Inspector‟s recommendations.
Annual Monitoring Report (Regulation 48) – The Council must submit an Annual Monitoring
Report (AMR) to the Secretary of State on the implementation of the Local Development Scheme
and the extent to which objectives and outcomes sought by policies set out in the local
development documents are being achieved. The AMR must be produced by the end of
December each year and submitted to the Government Office for London, with the most recent
being submitted in December 2008.
Figure 2 - Key stages in the production of Supplementary Planning Documents
2.7 The preparation of Supplementary Planning Documents is different to that of DPDs. SPDs are to
provide guidance and more detail on the application of a development plan document policy or a
saved UDP policy. SPDs cannot set out new policies and must relate to policies in a DPD or a saved
policy in the UDP. Preparation of SPDs is a simpler process than the preparation of DPDs and does
not involve an Examination in Public by an Inspector. The Council is responsible for the process
throughout, but there is still community involvement. The preparation will be accompanied by a
sustainability appraisal where appropriate, for example if the SPD is of a complex nature and the
issues raised have not already been considered by a higher level document.
Figure 3 - Key stages in the production of the Statement of Community Involvement
2.8 The Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) explains how and when the Council intends to
engage the community and particular stakeholders in preparing and reviewing planning policy
documents that comprise the Local Development Framework and in consultation on planning
applications. The SCI process includes public consultation however, it should be noted that the
requirement for an examination has now been removed.
3. 0 BRENT’S LOCAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK
Introduction to the current situation in Brent
3.1 The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act requires the Local Development Scheme (LDS) to be
revised at such times as the Local Authority considers appropriate. Following the withdrawal of the
Core Strategy in summer 2008, the Council has had to alter its project plan to enable the revision of
-6-
the Core Strategy, and address the Inspector‟s concerns highlighted in the feedback given at
submission stage. This has also had a knock on effect on the production of other Local Development
Documents, which will all now be published at a later date. For example, the Council proposes to
begin work on the Development Management policies Development Plan Document once the Core
Strategy is adopted. The key project plan changes and document profiles are highlighted in Appendix
1.
Brent LDF – conformity and integration with other plans and strategies
3.2 One of the main changes under the new planning system is a shift in focus from the regulation and
control of the use of land to a more spatial approach. This requires a move away from dealing with
strictly land use matters, taking account of other strategies and plans for the borough which have an
impact upon spatial development. There are a number of strategies, plans and policy guidance that
need to be considered and where necessary, integrated into the Local Development Framework.
National/ Government Planning Policy
3.3 The Government sets out national planning policy in Planning Policy Statements (PPS) and
Planning Policy Guidance Notes (PPG) which are gradually being replaced. The LDF must have
regard to these policies and implement them, taking account of local circumstances.
The London Plan and related guidance and strategies
3.4 The London Plan is the spatial expression of the strategies of the GLA family, including the
London Development Agency and Transport for London. It is part of the Statutory Development Plan
for the borough, and DPDs must be in conformity with it. The London Plan 2008 (as consolidated with
changes since 2004) has a number of related strategies and guidance, including Supplementary
Planning Guidance on a variety of topics (e.g. playspace), Sub Regional Development Frameworks (to
help to link boroughs‟ DPDs with the London Plan); Mayor Boris Johnson‟s document “Planning for a
Better London” which sets out how he intends to change the London Plan in the future and
Opportunity Area Frameworks where joint working is necessary between boroughs and the GLA.
Sustainable Community Strategy
3.5 This is a strategy which the Council (in association with the Local Strategic Partnership, called
Partners for Brent) has to prepare under the Local Government Act 2000 to articulate the community‟s
social, economic and environmental aspirations for the Borough. The Government sees the Local
Development Framework as giving spatial expression to the elements of the Community Strategy that
relate to the use of land. The Community Strategy for the London Borough of Brent was revised
alongside early stages of LDF preparation and was published in 2006, and is Brent‟s Community
Strategy 2006-2010. The Planning Service has fully embraced the Community Strategy in drawing up
the LDF Core Strategy, and will continue to ensure that the planning framework for the area is
consistent with, and helps to deliver, the community strategy so far as this is relevant to the
development and use of land within a spatial context.
Other local partnerships and strategies
3.6 The Council also has a number of other strategies and plans in the borough which the LDF must
take account of. These include the following (list not exhaustive):
Brent‟s Corporate Strategy 2006 - 2010
Regeneration Strategy - A Regeneration Strategy for Brent 2001 – 2021
Air Quality Action Plan 2005 - 2010
Brent Biodiversity Action Plan, 2007
Brent Planning for Sports Facilities and Active Recreation Strategy 2008 – 2021
Brent‟s Municipal Waste Management Strategy
Local Implementation Plan (LIP) 2006 - 2011

4.0 EXPLANATION OF PROPOSED PROGRAMME FOR BRENT’S LOCAL DEVELOPMENT
FRAMEWORK
4.1 Appendix 1 sets out the overall programme of the proposed Local Development Framework for the
London borough of Brent up to 2012, including the Local Development Documents to come forward
after this date. The policies in the Unitary Development Plan, as saved in September 2007, have had
their lives extended by the Secretary of State. Supplementary Planning Guidance documents will be
saved and retain their status as long as relevant policies in the UDP are saved. Profiles of each of the
Local Development Documents are also included in Appendix 1, and a Gantt Chart is also available
for viewing at Appendix 2. A profile of the Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) is also included.
4.2 The council‟s priority is to ensure that the Core Strategy, Site Specific Allocations and the
Development Management Policies DPDs are adopted as soon as possible. SPDs such as the
Wembley Masterplan have been prioritised as SPD to the UDP rather than waiting for adoption of the
Core Strategy because they are needed urgently to provide the level of detailed guidance necessary
for an area where major development proposals are being brought forward or are likely to be brought
forward in the near future. In addition, where the council considers that SPD should be provided
supplementary to DPDs, these have also been set as a priority. For example, the council is currently
preparing an SPD on altering and extending your home, which will provide valuable information for
local householders on the new permitted development. Certain SPG notes that are supplementary to
the UDP are not going to be updated because they are not considered to be necessary any longer.
Others will be updated according to the timetable set out below once as and when resources allow.
5.0 MANAGEMENT ARRANGEMENTS
5.1 This section identifies the management arrangements for the production of the LDF. It sets out the
membership of the core steering group for the production of the Local Development Framework (LDF)
and provides a diagrammatic representation of management arrangements.
5.2 A core group has been established to steer both the involvement arrangements and the policy
content. This steering group is mainly made up of Brent Officers from across the Council (i.e.
Planning, Housing, Education, Policy & Regeneration Unit, Social Services and Transportation etc).
The group will liaise with the LSP.
5.3 Additionally, specialised sub-groups will be created to meet on an ad-hoc basis to deal with
specific themes or matters when necessary.
5.4 The core group is represented in the Council‟s Corporate Management Team.
5.5 The political overarching structure is provided by the Council‟s existing Overview & Scrutiny
membership and function as well as through Planning Committee.
5.6 The core group has established an agreed method of wider stakeholder involvement set out in the
Statement of Community Involvement (SCI). It is anticipated to engage Brent‟s communities across
four key stages of involvement:
Education & Information Provision;
Information & Feedback;
Involvement & Consultation; and
Extended Involvement.
5.7 Methods include: stakeholder forum/ visioning event(s); the use of Area Consultative Forums;
exhibitions; local advertisement; ad-hoc stakeholder theme groups/ workshops; citizens panels; use of
the internet; surveys, interviews and questionnaires; and public meetings.

LDF structure - LDDs inter-relationships and geographical coverage
5.8 This section sets out how the LDF will be structured, particularly how different Local
Development Documents (LDDs) inter-relate and the geographical coverage of the various
LDDs.
5.9 The LDF will comprise of the LDDs identified in the Profiles in the tables in see Appendix 1
and as described in the introductory section of this document. The diagram below outlines
their inter-relationships. It is important to note that a hierarchy of regional and national
guidance and policy, in the form of The London Plan and Planning Policy Statement (PPS) for
example, hang above and feed into the local level tiers identified below.

Evidence base management
5.10 This section provides information on how the evidence base will be managed and specifies
the main background technical studies.
5.11 A sound evidence base is crucial to the successful preparation of all of the LDF components.
A comprehensive evidence base will allow for the production of LDDs with clear and distinctive
spatial visions, objectives and strategies which directly address difficult issues and are
deliverable, and will be vital in demonstrating the soundness of DPDs at the independent
examination stage. The evidence base, particularly through the AMR, will also be important in
informing monitoring and review of the LDS and subsequently the LDF itself. A further
important role which the evidence base performs is that of establishing a baseline to enable
the effective and efficient appraisal of the Plan through a SA process incorporating the
requirement for a SEA.
5.12 The main technical studies required to develop a robust evidence base from which to produce
and justify sound DPDs are:
LDF production information requirements scoping exercise
Review of Brent UDP 2004. Covering;
- 10 -
o How up-to-date it is,
o Consistency with PPS/PPG, The London Plan and local strategies,
o Relationship with local strategies and initiatives (as identified at paragraphs 3.2 and
3.6),
o How well it delivers sustainable development, and
o Which UDP policies are „saved‟ under the transitional arrangements.
Equalities Appraisal of Brent UDP 2004
Employment Land Demand Study 2006
Park Royal Strategy (Park Royal Partnership, 2002 onwards)
Town Centre Health Checks
NLUD Survey
GLA London-wide Housing Capacity Study - SHLAA
SA (incorporating SEA requirements) baseline data established where necessary, in the event
that the Core Strategy‟s SA is not sufficient. The SA must be able to;
o Identify key environmental problems / issues;
o Develop assessment framework – objectives, criteria, indicators etc; and
o Consult authorities and other bodies on the scope.
11
6.0 MONITORING AND REVIEW
6.1 This section identifies how monitoring and review is occurring, including the AMR and resultant
annual review of the LDS; the resources (in broad terms) to be allocated to producing the LDF;
arrangements and responsibilities for programme management and a risk assessment including any
proposed contingencies.
6.2 Review, monitoring and survey are crucial to the successful delivery of the LDF‟s visions and
objectives, and should be undertaken on a continuous proactive basis. By surveying external trends
and outcomes, the Council can build strong evidence bases to inform the preparation of LDDs.
Effective monitoring is crucial to the development of LDFs. Its role is already recognised in terms of
the „plan, monitor, and manage‟ approach:
Plan – making decisions in the LDF about the scale, location, and nature of future
development;
Monitor – putting in place a system to measure whether actual events are contributing
towards the objectives in the LDF; and
Manage – adjusting the plan to reflect findings of monitoring.
6.3 The Council are required to review actual LDD progress compared with the targets and milestones
in the LDS, and produce an AMR. In addition, we need to monitor LDFs in terms of:
Assessing the extent to which external trends and progress with delivery reflects LDF policies.
This is an important means of assessing the effectiveness of policies to deliver housing. LPAs
are required to provide information on dwelling completions;
Policies, targets and milestones being sufficiently clear and focused so as to be capable of
quantitative assessment through indicators;
Informing development management decision-making. Monitoring has an important role to play
in terms of implementing criteria-based policies that are responsive to changing circumstances;
and
Recognising national and regional policy objectives and targets. Local monitoring systems need
to be sufficiently comprehensive to respond to wider requirements.
The Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) and implementation of the LDS
6.4 The Council is required to prepare AMRs to assess the implementation of the LDS, and the extent
to which policies in LDDs were achieved. In terms of implementation, AMRs review the actual plan
progress over the year, compared to the targets and milestones for LDD preparation set out in the
LDS. This assesses:
Whether the Council has met the LDD targets and milestones, is on target to meet them, was
falling behind schedule or did not meet them;
If the Council is falling behind schedule or had failed to meet a target or milestone, the
reasons for this; and
Updates the LDS in light of the above, and the necessary steps and timetable.
Monitoring
6.5 In terms of policy achievement, the Council will need to develop robust monitoring systems to
judge the effectiveness of LDDs. For the purposes of the AMR, this will include assessing:
Whether policies and related targets or milestones in LDDs have been met or progress is being
made towards meeting them. Or, where they are not being met or on track to be achieved, the
reasons why;
12
What impact the policies are having on national, regional and local targets and any other
targets identified in the LDDs. These will also have regard to the National Indicators and
Brent‟s key priority indicators;
Whether the policies in the LDD need adjusting or replacing because they are not working as
intended or are not achieving sustainable development objectives; and
If policies or proposals need changing, suggested actions to achieve this.
Indicators
6.6 Crucial to monitoring is the need to set appropriate indicators to monitor actual progress against
targets. In line with regional monitoring, there should be an objectives-led approach to LDF monitoring
which:
Ensures clear links from objectives through to policies, implementation programmes and to
output targets and related indicators;
Focuses on key objectives rather than monitoring a wide range of indicators not directly
relevant to policy performance;
Provides sufficient consistency in terms of local authority monitoring approaches as to enable
comparisons to be made;
Allows transparency and accountability in terms of delivery; and
Facilitates more informed policy and decision-making. These will reflect the national indicators
where appropriate.
Links with other initiatives
6.7 LDF monitoring will be undertaken in the context of wider community and local initiatives),
particularly the Sustainable Community Strategy. As the LDF is the key spatial delivery mechanism
for the Sustainable Community Strategy, there could be links between the monitoring, targets and
indicators used in respect of both initiatives. Public Service Agreement targets and accompanying
National indicators are also a potential source of objectives, targets and indicators. If they are used in
AMRs, the links to best value will be made clear. The LDS will therefore be continuously updated.
6.8 The SA (incorporating SEA requirements) has specific monitoring requirements. As this appraisal
will identify and assess the impacts of LDDs from social, environmental and economic perspectives, it
can assist in formulating targets and indicators consistent with sustainable development objectives.
The SA (incorporating SEA) may be particularly useful in developing AMR contextual indicators and
will take the form of an iterative process throughout both the production and review of the LDF.
Timing of AMR
6.9 Clause 34 of the Act requires LPAs to submit AMRs in respect to the financial year (1st April to
31st March) no later than the following 31st December.
13
Resources and responsibilities
6.10 The monitoring and review process is provided by the Planning Service as overseen by the
management arrangements set out in section 5.1. This is funded from existing budgets (including
Housing & Planning Delivery Grant) using internal staff resources.
Risk Assessment
6.11 In preparing the local development scheme, it was found that the main areas of risk relate to:
Other priorities The Planning Policy Team have a lot of competing pressures for other area
of work. With the limited staff resources there is little scope to take on any additional work if
the timetable in the LDS is to be achieved.
The capacity of the Planning Inspectorate (PINS) and other external agencies to cope
with the nation-wide demand. This is outside of the Council‟s control but we will have reached
a Service Level Agreement with them which ought to ensure timely delivery on both sides.
The “soundness” of DPDs This risk will be minimised by working closely with Government
Office and PINS both at and between all milestone stages and in the run up to submission of
DPDs.
Legal challenge This will be minimised by ensuring that DPDs are “sound” and founded on a
robust evidence base and well-audited stakeholder & community engagement systems.
Programme slippage This will be minimised with some contingency time built into the later
part of the programme.
Rolling Programme
6.12 Documents will be replaced/ updated as necessary as identified by the AMR or more informal
review mechanism if appropriate before that time. Any changes deemed necessary as a result of the
AMR, or other assessment, will be reflected in the production and submission of a revised LDS.
