Planning Policy in Liverpool:The Planning Service's Development Plans Team writes the planning policies that are used in Development Control decisions. To do this, the Team works with the local community, regeneration organisations and other City Council departments.
Currently, the most important policy document we use is the Liverpool Unitary Development Plan (UDP) which was adopted in November 2002. It provides a framework for how the city will develop over the next few years by setting out policies governing new development in Liverpool.
The UDP has with it a range of Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) notes. These set out more detailed guidelines for certain types of development, such as house extensions and shopfronts.
In September 2004, the English planning system was changed. This means that the UDP and all SPGs will be replaced by a new range of policy documents which, together, will be known as our Local Development Framework (LDF). The timetable for producing these documents is set out within the adopted Local Development Scheme (LDS). We update this every as required to take account of changing issues within the city.
Under the new planning system, the Regional Spatial Strategy for the North West (RSS) forms part of Liverpool's Development Framework. This is of great importance for us when making planning decisions. The North West Regional Assembly produced the RSS together with all Local Authorities in North West England.
A list of adopted policy documents, which come together to make the current Liverpool LDF, can be found on the Adopted Documents webpage. Please note that the LDF includes the 'saved' Unitary Development Plan.
There are also a number of additional policy documents currently in production. To find out more about these, visit the Work in Progress webpage.
To find out more about the new planning system visit our More Information page. There, you will see how planning policy documents are produced; and details of how you can get involved in the plan-making process.
