The planning policy team

The planning policy team is responsible for preparing, monitoring and updating planning policies in Broxbourne.  It is through the effective implementation of these policies that the Council seeks to create prosperous and sustainable communities.

 

The adopted planning policies for shaping development in the Borough are currently set out in the Broxbourne local plan second review which was adopted in December 2005.

 

In 2004, the Government introduced a new planning system called the Local Development Framework (LDF) which comprises a portfolio of planning documents including a Core Strategy, Site Allocation DPD and Development Control Policies DPD.
