Saved Plan
Replacement Calderdale Unitary Development Plan
1.29 The Replacement Calderdale Unitary Development Plan came into effect on August 25, 2006. It superseded the previously Adopted Calderdale Unitary Development Plan, dating from April 1997. The transitional arrangements in the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, mean that the policies in the Replacement UDP are "saved" three years from its adoption, that is until August 25, 2009.
1.30 The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) have issued a protocol to be followed where the Council wishes to extend the "saved" period beyond the initial 3 years provided for in the Act. This protocol requires that the Council submit to the Secretary of State through the Government Office for Yorkshire & the Humber (GOYH) a detailed listing of the policies it wishes to save further and the reasons for doing so. Given that the Replacement Calderdale UDP was adopted on August 25, 2006, this Council will not be required to submit a schedule under this protocol until February 2009 (six months before the expiry date of policies) to allow the Secretary of State to consider and approve the request for an extension. The Replacement UDP will therefore remain in place until August 2009 and with the consent of the Secretary of State beyond that date, before it is replaced with strategic or detailed policies within the Core Strategy or other DPDs.
