Unitary Development Plan
Unitary Development Plan
Rotherham's Unitary Development Plan (UDP) was formally adopted by the Council in June 1999. The plan guides development throughout the borough covering such issues as housing, employment, transport, conservation and the protection of the environment. The UDP will eventually be replaced by the Local Development Framework.

Extension of UDP saved policies
The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 provides for the saving of policies in adopted or approved local, structure and unitary development plans for a period of 3 years from the commencement of the Act, which was on 28 September 2004. Policies in plans adopted or approved at that date expired on 27 September 2007 unless extended by the Secretary of State.
The Secretary of State issued a direction for Rotherham, listing those UDP policies which are saved. Those policies not listed in the direction expired on 27 September 2007.
For the avoidance of doubt, from 28 September 2007 onwards the statutory development plan for Rotherham consists of only those UDP policies listed in the direction and their corresponding allocations on the UDP Proposals Map.
