Adur District Local Plan 1996
The Adur District Local Plan was adopted in 1996. It is a district wide plan and covers a ten year period from 1996 to 2006. The Adur Planning Policy Team are currently producing a suite of documents as part of the Local Development Framework which will eventually replace the Local Plan. Due to the age of the Local Plan not all the policies within it are still relevant. In line with PPS12, those which are have been saved and form part of the development plan for the District. A full list of these policies can be found on the Saved Policies (on the Annual Monitoring Report web page).
The existing Local Plan can be viewed below.
Policies that are not included in the saved policies list are no longer in use and should be ignored.
It is now possible to view the Local Plan on our website :
