Unitary Development Plan (UDP)

On 28 June 2006 the council adopted the new Wolverhampton Unitary Development Plan, replacing the previous UDP adopted in 1993. It can be viewed via the links on this page.

Extension of UDP Policies

The 2004 Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act requires the council to replace the UDP with new Development Plan Documents (DPD's) which form part of the Council’s emerging Local Development Framework.  The Act saved the UDP policies for a period of three years from the date of adoption.  At the end of this period, any saved policies will cease being part of the UDP unless they have been extended by the Secretary of State. This period ended in June 2009.

The Secretary of State issued a Direction letter in June 2009 detailing which UDP policies will be saved. The Direction letter agreed with the council's assessment that the following policies should not be saved:

  • EP2 Environmental Impact Assessments
  • EP7 Protection of Floodplains
  • HE10 Removal of Permitted Development Rights in a Conservation Area
  • HE15 Change of Use of a Listed Building
  • SH2 Centre Uses
  • SH11 New Retail Development - Comparison Goods
  • AM14 Minimising the Effect of Traffic on Communities
  • BTC7 Bilston Town Hall
