Salford Local Plan

The council has started work on the Salford Local Plan: Core Strategy and Allocations (part two of our Local Plan). Between 13 December 2023 and 24 January 2024, a consultation took place on the scope of the plan, the methodology for undertaking the integrated assessment of the plan, and an invite for people to put forward sites that they think should be considered for development or designated as a Local Green Space in the plan. The comments received to the consultation are currently being considered.

The Salford Local Plan is being produced in two parts:

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
