Local PolicyThis is what is happening with the present consultation process for the Bristol Development Framework (BDF), the emerging strategic planning policy document that will set how development happens in Bristol over the next 20 years.  A number of consultation events have been held over the last 5 years for the various stages of the Bristol Development Framework (BDF). The Core Strategy has now been adopted.
Reports of the meetings are on the Bristol City Council website.
Further meetings will be held in 2010 for the next stages of the BDF which will cover the Bristol Central Area Action Plan and the Site Allocations and Development Management Development Plan Document.
