What is the Unitary Development Plan?

The Unitary Development Plan First Alteration was adopted on 24th August 2005. This supersedes the Borough's first UDP adopted in March 1998.

An accompanying Proposals Map illustrates area and site specific polices and the proposal sites.

Certain policies in the UDP written statement have been struck-through. These policies were automatically saved for three years from the date of the 2004 Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act, but have not had their life extended, and are effectively deleted from the plan as of 27th September 2007.

An addendum lists the policies that have not been extended beyond September 2007.

The planning policies in the Unitary Development Plan and current Supplementary Guidance will ultimately be replaced by the Local Development Framework (see link at bottom of this page).
