Local Development Framework

The planning policy context for the Borough is changing; on the 3rd February 2011 the four Black Country Authorities adopted the Black Country Core Strategy which forms the basis of the Council’s Local Development Framework. The policies in the Core Strategy will now replace some of the policies in Dudley’s Unitary Development Plan.
