What is a Unitary Development Plan and where can I obtain one?
A Unitary Development Plan (UDP) is the statutory framework for the use and development of land in the district. It sets out where development generally will and will not be acceptable. It comprises a written statement which sets out a range of policies and background information and a proposals map showing allocations for development, green belt and other areas subject to specific policies. The proposals map can be viewed in the Planning Department and in some libraries.
