Wolverhampton Airport DPD

In developing the LDF programme, the Council decided to prepare a specific document covering Wolverhampton Airport. The document will set a framework for and policies to define the role of the Airport and the policies would replace those in the adopted Local Plan.

An Issues and Options Paper (10.1MB) for the Airport was published for consultation in January 2007.  A number of exhibitions were held locally to give as many people as possible the opportunity to discuss the issues and options with officers.  The consultation period ran from 29^th January 2007 to 12^th March 2007 and over 400 responses were received. A Summary Leaflet (220MB), which explains the issues and options considered was produced. A Wolverhampton Airport Policy Area Sustainability Appraisal (177KB) was also published.

The Council is currently considering whether to continue with the Wolverhampton Airport Document. Government Guidance has changed since the decision was made to produce this document and there is now clear advice that the Council should be looking to produce fewer DPD’s and include policies covering the Airport within the Core Strategy.
