Unitary Development Plan
The current Tameside Unitary Development Plan (UDP) was adopted on 17 November 2004, and supersedes all previous UDP Documents. The UDP contains all of the Council’s land use planning policies and forms the principal basis on which planning applications for development in the Borough are determined. Under the new planning system, the current UDP is 'saved' as a Development Plan Document in the Tameside Local Development Framework.
The original time period under which UDP policies could be ‘saved’ in the Local Development Framework expired on 27 September 2007. However, Tameside has received Direction from the Secretary of State that its UDP policies can be extended beyond this time period.
To view the UDP please use one of the links below:
- Interactive UDP website
