Unitary Development Plan
The Unitary Development Plan (UDP) is the statutory development plan for Sheffield, adopted in March 1998. You can find the Unitary Development Plan on the Planning Portal website.
Following consultation with the Council, the Secretary of State has now directed the saving of all policies in the UDP except for those listed below. This takes effect from Friday, 28 September 2007. From that day these policies cease to apply and, consequently, should not be used in planning decisions.
The policies that will cease to apply are as follows:
GE26 Water Quality of Waterways
IB4 Land for Industry and Business
IB10 Visitor Accommodation in Industry and Business Areas
H1 Land Needed for New Housing
CF5 Community Benefits
MW1 Mineral Working
MW2 Conservation of Mineral Reserves
Please note that some of the information in the UDP printed document has not been included in the material shown on the Planning Portal. Also, please note that some additional information appears on the Planning Portal which does not form part of the UDP.
The Car Parking Guidelines, adopted as part of the UDP, can be downloaded below. These standards have now been updated in response to the guidance set out in revised Planning Policy Guidance Note 13 (PPG13). PPG13 requires maximum rather than minimum standards to be set. You can find these revised standards in Car Parking Guidelines.
Information shown on the UDP Proposals Map can be viewed on the Planning Portal using the link above. If you wish to look at the UDP Proposals Map in its original format of 10 map sheets, then you should use the downloadable pdf documents below.
