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.
Salford City Council adopted the Salford Local Plan: Development Management Policies and Designations (SLP:DMP) on 18 January 2023. The SLP:DMP replaces the saved policies of the Salford Unitary Development Plan (2004 to 2016), as set out in Annex D of the plan.
The SLP:DMP was subject to an independent examination carried out by an inspector appointed by the Secretary of State. The inspector’s report issued to the city council on 3 November 2022 confirmed that subject to the main modifications recommended, the SLP:DMP is considered to be sound and legally compliant. The adopted SLP:DMP incorporates these main modifications, along with additional minor modifications made by the city council.
