What are 'Saved' Planning Policies?
From April 1 Shropshire's former county, district and borough councils will be merged to form Shropshire Council. This will mean that a single Local Development Framework (LDF) will be prepared covering the whole of Shropshire.
Shropshire Council has begun work preparing a new county wide LDF with a Core Strategy due to be completed in 2011 and a Site Allocations and Development Management DPD to follow in 2012. However, before these documents are adopted it is necessary to continue to 'save' policies from each of the former Local Planning Authority areas.
These 'saved policies' will continue to form part of the Development Plan within their relevant former Local Planning Authority boundary, and will therefore continue to have an input to decisions on planning applications within these areas.
'Saved' Shrewsbury and Atcham Planning Policies
Follow the relevant attachments on this page to assess the Local Plan for the former Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough Council area. For ease of use the Local Plan has been split into 10 main sections and 3 Appendices.
In 2007 Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough Council applied to the Government Office for the West Midlands to 'save' a number of policies in this plan beyond their initial lifetime of three years. The schedule of successfully 'saved' policies is also attached to this page, and 'saved' policies are highlighted within Local Plan itself.
The policies contained in this schedule will continue to form part of the Development Plan for the former Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough District area before they are replaced by the Shropshire Council LDF. Local Plan Policies which are not on this list are no longer relevant.
Relevant Planning Documents for the former Shrewsbury and Atcham area
Along with these 'saved' policies there are also a series of adopted plans and strategies still relevant to each former Local Planning Authority area. These include Development Briefs for specific sites and Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs). Where appropriate these documents will also continue to contribute to decisions on planning applications.
