Salford Local Plan

The Salford Local Plan is being produced in two parts:

• Part one: Salford Local Plan: Development Management Policies and Designations (SLP:DMP), which was adopted on 18 January 2023.
• Part two: Salford Local Plan: Core Strategy and Allocations

Part one: Salford Local Plan: Development Management Policies and
Designations (SLP:DMP)

The Salford Local Plan: Development Management Policies and Designations was adopted by full Council on 18 January 2023. It now forms part of the statutory development plan for Salford and replaces all of the saved policies of the Unitary Development Plan.

The primary purpose of the Salford Local Plan: Development Management Policies and Designations is to:

• Provide the main policies that will be used to manage development and determine planning applications
• Identify the designations that will protect the city’s most important environmental assets, town centres and infrastructure
• Support the key delivery of key infrastructure, such as transport and utilities

Part two: Salford Local Plan: Core Strategy and Allocations

Work on part two of the local plan will be progressed following the Places for Everyone examination hearing sessions and when it is known what the implications are for Salford in terms of the sub-regional spatial strategy, and district requirements for housing and employment. The exact scope and timetable for the production of this document will be determined once full consideration has been given to this.
