Adopted Plans & Saved Policies at January 2010
Schedule of Adopted Plans & Saved Policies - January 2010
The current adopted planning policies are used by the Council as a basis for determining planning applications and guiding development in the district.
Local Development Framework (LDF)
The following Development Plan Documents (DPDs) and Area Action Plans (AAPs) have been adopted by the Council and form part of its Local Development Framework (LDF):
- Core Strategy DPD - Adopted January 2007
- Development Control Policies DPD - Adopted July 2007
- Northstowe AAP - Adopted July 2007
- Cambridge East AAP - Adopted February 2008
- Cambridge Southern Fringe AAP - Adopted February 2008
- North West Cambridge AAP - Adopted October 2009
- Site Specific Policies DPD - Adopted January 2010
Local Plan 2004
The adopted Local Plan 2004 policies have now been almost entirely replaced by policies in the adopted DPDs and AAPs, or are no longer in force because they have been implemented as development proposals, national planning policy provides sufficient policy guidance, or they cease to have effect as a result of a change in policy approach.
Since September 2007, only the Local Plan 2004 policies that have been 'saved' remain in force. A list of which policies were 'saved' was provided by the Government.
At January 2010, only one Local Plan 2004 policy remains in force: Policy CNF6 Expansion of Existing Sites. The policy will be superseded by the Gypsy & Traveller DPD when it is adopted.
Proposals Map
The Proposals Map shows the boundaries of policies contained in the Council's adopted plans that have spatial implications, i.e. allocations of land for development and policy areas to which a specific policy applies, including the saved policy of the Local Plan 2004.
