Planning Policies
The city council has published several documents that provide a policy context for new development, regeneration and conservation in the city. Some of these documents cover the whole city while others are specific to particular areas.
The Unitary Development Plan
The main planning policy document produced by Salford City Council is the Unitary Development Plan or (UDP). The UDP was adopted by the council in June 2006 as its statutory development plan.
The Local Development Framework (LDF) and the Local Development Scheme (LDS)
The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 requires that over time the UDP and the various supplementary planning guidance documents are replaced by a suite of new documents which are collectively known as the Local Development Framework (LDF). The Act also had the effect of making Regional Planning Guidance for the North West (RPG13), the Regional Spatial Strategy, which now forms part of the statutory development plan for the city.
The various documents that the council intends to produce over the next three years (2005/6 – 2007/8) as part of its Local Development Framework are identified in the council’s Local Development Scheme (LDS).
