“A Fairer City” Publication Salford Local Plan: Development Management Policies and Designations (2020)

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.

What is the Salford Local Plan: Development Management Policies and Designations?

The council published the Publication Salford Local Plan: Development Management Policies and Designations (SLP:DMP) on 27 January 2020 and invited comments on this document until 20 March 2020. The SLP: DMP, policies map, supporting documents and comments received to this consultation can be downloaded at the foot of this page.

A policies map was produced to accompany the plan which shows the areas of land that have been given a protective designation or otherwise relate to specific policies in the plan. An interactive version of the policies map is available to view online. You can also view the individual chapters of the SLP: DMP.

Whilst it was anticipated that the Publication SLP:DMP would be the version of the plan that the council would submit to the Secretary of State for independent examination, the council identified the need for some changes to the plan.

An addendum to the Publication SLP:DMP was published on 5 February 2021 and comments were invited on this until 19 March 2021. The comments received this consultation are available to view online. All of the information relating to the Addendum can be also be viewed online.
