As you may be aware the Society has been involved in a major LDF Learning and Dissemination Project over the last year with ten pilot authorities. The project aims to examine aspects of the LDF system as they are tackled by the pilot authorities and report and disseminate the learning via regular bulletins and the Society’s website. The Planning Advisory Service and the LGA have recently agreed to assist in funding the extension and enhancement of this project and to develop case study models for further dissemination.
