Some planning documents unavailable

We're currently experiencing an issue with our website where some of our planning documents are unavailable.

If you need a planning document that's currently not available from our website, please email planning@lewisham.gov.uk for a copy.


The Local Development Scheme (LDS) sets out:

  • an outline of the Local Plan and the planning documents we propose to prepare

  • the timetable for the preparation of the various documents.

The current Local Development Scheme was approved by a decision of Mayor and Cabinet on 7 December 2022 and came into force on 17 December 2022. It replaces the LDS 2020.

The old LDS 2020 can be read below.
