Format of the UDP 

The UDP consists of a Written Statement and a Proposals Map.

The Written Statement comprises two elements:

Part 1 Consists of a very brief statement of the strategic policies for the area. These policies provide a context and framework for the more detailed policies and proposals contained in Part 2.

Part 2 Consists of more detailed polices and proposals. Part 2 is divided into sixteen chapters. These cover the main topic areas of Environment, Housing, Employment, Transportation, Retailing, Tourism & Leisure, Sport and Recreation, Social and Community Facilities, Minerals, Waste, Unstable Land, Energy and Utilities, Regeneration and Implementation and Resources.

The Proposals Map which includes Inset Maps show, on an Ordnance Survey base of the County Borough, the physical expression of the policies and proposals in the Written Statement
