Saved Policies
District Local Plan Policies continue in force
Under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, which
brought in the system of Local Development Frameworks (LDF), the
policies in the adopted District Local Plan were saved for a
transitional period of three years from the date of the
commencement of Act. This period expired on the 27th September
2007. The Act does, however, allow the Secretary of State for
Communities and Local Government to extend the saving of policies
beyond that date.
