Status of Aylesbury Vale District Local Plan policies

After 27 September 2007, legislation meant that policies in the Aylesbury Vale District Local Plan (AVDLP) ceased to have effect unless 'saved' by a Direction from the Secretary of State.  The purpose of this was to ensure that local planning authorities brought forward their Local Development Frameworks quickly.

Following an application from AVDC, the Secretary of State issued a direction on 24 September to save specified policies.  A copy of the direction and list of saved policies is available for download below.

Policies which have not been saved were either superfluous, duplicated by other policy guidance within government circulars or AVDLP or had been superseded by more recent advice issued through Government Planning Policy Guidance Notes or Planning Policy Statements.

From 27 September, we will determine planning applications against the background of the revised policy framework and updated guidance.  Advice and reports on applications will reflect the up-to-date situation.

Also available for download below is a full list of AVDLP policies, indicating whether or not they have been saved and, in some cases, commentary on the reasoning.
