Introduction |
1.1 |
This document sets out policies from the Spelthorne Borough Local Plan 2001 that continue to be saved by virtue of a direction by the Secretary of State. It has been compiled to clarify the status of the saved Local Plan policies as at 17 December 2009 and to provide a convenient reference point for those policies which currently remain in force. |

Background |
2.1 |
Spelthorne Borough Council adopted the Spelthorne Borough Local Plan in April 2001. In December 2004 it adopted alterations to Policies H5 and H6. |
2.2 |
The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 introduced a new system of plan making called Local Development Frameworks. As part of the new system all existing Local Plans expired on 27 September 2007 unless the Secretary of State directed that specific policies or proposals should be saved beyond that date. |
2.3 |
In March 2007 the Council made an application to the Secretary of State to save eight policies and five proposals in the Local Plan. This was confirmed by a direction issued by the Secretary of State on 21 September 2007. A copy of the direction, including a complete schedule of all saved policies and proposals, is given in Appendix A. |
2.4 |
Following the adoption of the Council’s Core Strategy and Policies Development Plan Document (DPD) on 26 February 2009, saved policies RU8 (Plotlands) and BE14 (Protected Urban Open Space) ceased to have effect from that date and have been replaced by policies EN2 and EN4 respectively. |
2.5 |
The Allocations Development Plan Document was adopted by the Council on 17 December 2009 and the saved proposals, P7, P8, P11, P12 and P17, ceased to have effect from that date. |

Saved Policies |
3.1 |
The remaining six saved policies, set out in Appendix B, are extant and form part of the Development Plan for the Borough until such time that they are replaced by any new policies in an adopted DPD. The original supporting text to the saved policies, with original paragraph numbering, is included for information together with the relevant appendices from the Local Plan. However, only the text of the policy, identified in bold, and the notations or boundaries that apply (as shown on the adopted Proposals Map) are saved and have legal status as part of the Council’s Development Plan. |
