Together, the Wrekin Local Plan and adopted LDF documents
currently form the Development Plan for the Borough and set out a
range of policies and proposals aimed at achieving sustainable
development locally. The Spatial Development Strategy for the
Borough, contained within the LDF Core Strategy document, is to
concentrate the majority of development in Telford, with limited
growth in Newport and the rural area of the Borough to meet local
housing and employment needs.
The adopted Proposals Map that accompanies the Wrekin Local Plan
and the Key Diagram that accompanies the LDF Core Strategy,
illustrate local planning policies and proposals, including those
areas where development will take place.
Planning Policies beyond September 2007
As part of the transition to the new Local Development Framework
(LDF) planning system, not all Wrekin Local Plan policies remain
part of the Development Plan. After 27th September 2007, only those
Wrekin Local Plan policies that have been approved by the Secretary
of State as "saved policies" can remain part of the Development
Plan.
"Saved policies" are those that have been considered necessary
to remain in place until such a time as new policies emerge through
LDF documents to replace them.
Wrekin Local Plan "Saved Policies"
The Secretary of State has approved 88 policies of the Wrekin Local
Plan to be remain after 27th September 2007. These will continue to
form part of the Development Plan and be used in assessing Planning
Applications, until such time as they are superseded by new Local
Development Framework policy. Policies not included within this
list expired on 27th September 2007.
