Unitary Development Plan

The Unitary Development Plan (UDP) is Newham's statutory development plan. Its policies guide physical change in the Borough and provides guidance on a wide range of planning issues.

The UDP was adopted in June 2001 and will eventually be replaced by the emerging Local Development Framework (LDF). In addition, further guidance to the policies contained within the UDP is provided in a series of Supplementary Planning Guidance.

Saved UDP policies

In September 2007 some policies and proposals were deleted and these no longer form part of the UDP. However most policies were 'saved' and will remain until adopted policies in Development Plan Documents (DPDs) and Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs) within the LDF replace them.
