Unitary Development Plan (UDP)
Barnet's Unitary Development Plan (UDP) is a statutory document, the structure and basic content of which is set out by the government, but which is produced by the council.
- The purpose of the plan is to provide a framework for the most efficient and effective use of land in Barnet, and the plan is put together in the public interest.
- Planning law requires the council to consider both its UDP and the Mayor of London's London Plan when it makes individual planning decisions.
The UDP comprises a two-part Written Statement and a Proposals Map.
- Part I of the Written Statement contains the overall strategic policies for Barnet, which take into account national and regional planning policies.
- The policies in Part I form the framework for the more detailed policies contained in Part II. These policies closely guide development and the use of land. There are illustrative maps throughout the body of the plan.
- The Proposals Map identifies areas covered by specific policies - for example Green Belt and conservation areas - as well as any sites where development proposals exist.
