Policy saving notice - UDP (Unitary Development Plan) policies saved beyond September 2007

Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004

Kirklees Unitary Development Plan (UDP): Extension of saved policies

As a result of a Direction issued by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, from 28 September 2007 some of the policies in the UDP continue to have effect (saved policies) and some do not as they were not saved.

Saved policies

Saved policies will continue to be used to determine planning applications.

Policies not saved

Some of the policies which have not been saved were redundant, for example, because the relevant development has taken place or because they have been superseded by changes in national planning policy.

Other policies were not saved because they were considered to repeat national planning policy or other relevant guidance or in some cases to duplicate specific legislative controls. However, the issues that were addressed in those unsaved policies remain relevant to the consideration of planning applications. To assist applicants the council has identified text from relevant sources which it considers provides the most appropriate guidance as to how the issues in those unsaved policies should be addressed in planning applications. However, the selected text is intended to provide general guidance only, is not necessarily exhaustive and does not constitute legal or other professional advice. The council recommends that applicants should always obtain their own expert advice.

The replacement guidance for these policies is set out in a revision of the UDP written statement. The separate chapters of the UDP written statement can be viewed or downloaded from this website.
