Unitary Development Plan

In addition to the The Unitary Development Plan, which sets out the main planning policy for the Dudlley borough, we also publish planning guidance notes and supplementary planning guidance to address specific planning issues.

Under the new Planning System these will shortly be replaced by supplementary planning documents (SPD’s) within the Local Development Framework. Currently a number of these documents are subject to consultation.

At present these documents include greater information on the way specific policies of the Development Plan will be implemented as well as development / planning briefs for specific sites.

Planning Guidance Notes

You can download all our supplementary planning guidance from this section of the site. These guidance notes will open in a new window. See 'Related Documents' at bottom of page, and click on the relevant link.
