Saved Unitary Development Plan (UDP)
Policies
The 2004 Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act requires the
Council to replace the UDP with new Development Plan Documents
which form part of the Council’s Local Development Framework.
To ensure a smooth transition to the new system, the Act
automatically "saved" the UDP Policies for a period of three years
from adoption (i.e. until 14 June 2009). The policies lapsed at
that date unless "saved" by direction of the Secretary of
State for Communities and Local Government under Schedule 8 of the
Act.
The Council applied to and received the consent of the Secretary
of State to save many of the UDP policies beyond 14 June 2009.
These policies will gradually be replaced as Development Plan
Documents, such as the Core Strategy, are adopted.
A Direction was issued on 12 June 2009, saving all policies
apart from 4. The policies which have not been
saved are:
- Policy H1: Strategic Housing Land Requirements – this policy is
no longer appropriate as the housing numbers it refers to have been
replaced by the Regional Spatial Strategy;
- Policy S3: Huyton Town Centre – this policy is no longer need
as the former supermarket site it refers to has been
redeveloped;
- Policy S8: Location of Development for Town Centre Uses – this
policy conflicts with more up to date national planning guidance;
and
- Policy T4: Major Highway Schemes - this policy is no longer
needed as the two highway schemes it refers to have been
implemented.
As a consequence of the Secretary of
State issuing this Direction these policies expired on 14 June 2009
and no longer form part of Knowsley’s adopted "development
plan".
