The LDF Portal has been developed to provide interactive maps and information with links to Local Development Framework documents. Using the LDF Portal Home page links you will be able to :-

Address Search - Using the search facility you will be able to search for and locate an address within the Wakefield district. When a property is selected the following search results, where applicable, will report any proposals included within current development plan documents that affect the property. Please note: this facility will only report results where the point of address falls within a proposal site boundary. From the search results you can follow the links to view either the location on an interactive map, or to view the document and description of any proposals within the document.

LDF Maps - This will display an overview map of the district. To view more detailed maps and information you can select a highlighted area on the district map or choose a settlement area from the drop down list.

From the detailed map window you will be able to choose the documents available. You will be able to choose individual or ALL relevant proposals available from the 'Choose a Proposal'. Please see the instructions displayed below the detailed map window for using the map.
