Planning policy and proposals
local development framework
The Local Development Framework (LDF) is our emerging new spatial development plan. It will gradually replace our existing UDP, setting out the strategy, policies and proposals by which all planning applications in the borough will be assessed.
Latest news: Read our LDF newsletter.
NEW! Examination Programme and associated documents for the Hebburn Town Centre Area Action Plan
Also see our LDF homepage and public consultation page for details.
Interim Planning Policy Statement on Housing
An interim policy has now been adopted by the Council for the assessment of residential development proposals. It is designed to help manage the release of land for new house building whilst the LDF is being prepared.
Regional
Spatial Strategy (RSS)
The Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) for the North East will replace existing Regional
Planning Guidance (RPG1) as the regional part of the statutory development
plan. We have to consider the policies in these documents, alongside
our LDF and UDP, when determining planning applications.
Planning Aid
Free advice and assistance with the planning system for residents
and community groups.
Unitary
Development Plan (UDP)
The UDP is our existing adopted development plan. Its policies
set the basis for determining all planning applications, and remain
valid until replaced by the Local Development Framework.
NEW! Important UDP 'Saved' Policies Update - September 2007 (PDF 22.4k)

Proposals Maps
