Saved Policies

Three years from the adoption of the Local Plan, we are expected to set out which Local Plan policies have been saved for continued use and which policies have been deleted. We received a letter from the Government confirming the position. The adopted Local Plan must be read in conjunction with this letter. The Saved Policies come into effect from 11 Nov 2008 (exactly three years from the adoption of the Local Plan).
