First Deposit Local Plan 1995 to 2011

With the adoption of the Local Development Framework (LDF) Core Strategy (April 2007), the First Deposit Local Plan (2001) has been superseded as a material planning consideration - except in relation to the following areas:

Any site allocation which is not already superseded by an Area Action Plan or other Development Plan Document (DPD) which has reached Preferred Options stage or beyond. The areas where Area Action Plans have reached Preferred Options or beyond are: North Plymstock, Millbay and Stonehouse, Devonport, Sutton Harbour, Central Park - and the Waste DPD.
The annexes of the First Deposit Local Plan relating to the definition of shopping centre boundaries and the greenscape schedule.

These remaining provisions of the First Deposit Local Plan will become superseded over the next year as the remaining Local Development Framework documents progress.

As of 25 September 2007 (Cabinet meeting date), the consultation draft Design Supplementary Planning Document is a material consideration.

The Planning Obligations and Affordable Housing Supplementary Planning Document will be considered at Cabinet on 30 October 2007 for publication as a consultation draft. It is proposed that the tariffs part of this Supplementary Planning Document will not be applied immediately, rather waiting until full adoption of the Supplementary Planning Document. But the remainder of the Supplementary Planning Document will be able to be used for planning application purposes once the draft is agreed by Cabinet.

The 1996 Adopted Plan is no longer valid in the consideration of planning applications.
