I think it depends on whether you're in a unitary or two-tier authority. The area covered by a Local Planning Authority may not have an appropriate museum or archive office to enable deposition, especially if that sort of thing is dealt with at a county rather than a district level. In such a case, you would need to deposit your archive somewhere outside the LPA area. I don't think the NPPF can safely be interpreted to mean "deposition must occur within the boundary of a LPA".
I think the safest course is to take "local" to mean whatever is stipulated in the planning condition, or in any local guidance. See what your LPA think.
