Background Reports/Evidence Base

The Local Development Framework has to be soundly based on a robust, credible evidence base. It will be this question of 'soundness' which will be central to its examination by an independent inspector.

In preparing Plymouth's development framework there are a number of studies that have been undertaken that provide the Local Development Framework Evidence Base.
