Appendix A District Local Development Framework

The Future of Sevenoaks District Local Plan Policies beyond September 2007

The Sevenoaks District Local Plan was adopted in March 2000.

All the policies in the Sevenoaks District Local Plan were saved for a period of three years from the commencement of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act on 28th September 2004 until 27th September 2007. No Local Plan policies will be replaced by policies in the Core Strategy or other new Development Plan Documents before 27th September 2007.

The Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) issued a protocol for saving adopted Local Plan policies beyond the initial three-year saved period in August 2006. It sets out the criteria that Local Plan policies must meet if they are to have their life extended beyond September 2007. The Council must submit a list of all those Local Plan policies that it wishes to extend and those it does not wish to save, with reasons, to the Secretary of State, through the Government Office for the South East (GOSE), by 1st April 2007.

The following two tables list all the Sevenoaks District Local Plan policies. The first table lists those saved Sevenoaks District Local Plan policies that the Council wishes to continue to use beyond September 2007, together with reasons. The second table lists those saved Local Plan policies that the Council does not wish to save beyond September 2007 with reasons.
