B Replaced and deleted policies

When the Local Plan (Part One) was adopted on 29 January 2015, its policies replaced some of those contained in the currently adopted development plan for the borough. Some extant policies were retained until such time as they are replaced by policies within the Local Plan (Part Two) Land Allocations and Detailed Policies.

The following schedules set out these policies, and explain whether they have been deleted from the development plan, or replaced by policies in the Local Plan (Part One) or Local Plan (Part Two).

Where policies are identified for deletion upon the adoption of the Local Plan (Part Two), rather than replacement, a reason for the deletion is given in the schedules. Details of any changes to the adopted policies map are also included.
