The Gravity Local Development Order (LDO) was adopted by Sedgemoor District Council (now Somerset Council) in 2022.
The LDO is a streamlined form of planning consent which contributes to the UK proposition to attract investors and new business to Somerset, as it provides certainty to inform decision making.
Proposals coming forward that comply with the parameters and conditions of the Gravity LDO will not require any formal application for planning permission, being approved through a bespoke compliance process. The LDO establishes the conditions to enable clean growth through a streamlined, flexible and agile planning process.
More information on the LDO can be found via our Documents page
