Adopted Local Plan and Supplementary Planning Guidance

 

 

The current Adopted Local Plan contains general development control policies which are used in the determination of planning applications, and identifies sites where a particular kind of development can take place.  The Local Plan was adopted in 1996.  A review of the Plan was started and in 2003, and a Deposit Local Plan was published for consultation together with a suite of background studies.  However, the Council took the decision in 2005 to cease work on the replacement Local Plan and to move forward with a Local Development Framework for South Staffordshire in line with new guidance.

 

All policies in the adopted Local Plan were saved for 3 years when the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act came into force, however in September 2007 some policies were deleted.  The Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government issued a Direction and Schedule of Policies (60KB) to confirm which policies were to be saved after that date.

 

A number of Supplementary Planning Guidance documents linked to the saved Local Plan will remain in force until new documents replace them or they lapse.

 

The Local Plan is in two parts, the written statement and the accompanying Proposals Map and Inset Plans.  You can view a copy of the saved policies version of the Local Plan and the maps via the links below.
