Saved Local Plan Policies

Only planning policies that the Secretary of State has agreed to 'save' and extend beyond the 27th September 2007 deadline (in accordance with the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004) will remain applicable as a material consideration when determining planning applications.

The majority of MSDC Local Plan policies have been saved and will continue to be used within development control until they are replaced by adopted Development Plan Documents which form the Local Development Framework.

View the Direction Letter from the Secretary of State together with the schedule of Local Plan Policies which have been 'saved' and remain applicable until replaced by the Local Development Framework.
