The Local Plan review process has taken four years to complete.  The Council would like to thank all those who took the opportunity to get involved in this planning process. The many comments and suggestions received from individuals, interest groups and developers have help to shape the Replacement Pendle Local Plan (2001-2016).

The Adopted Replacement Pendle Local Plan (2001-2016)

The Replacement Pendle Local Plan (2001-2016) was formally adopted by the Full Council on Thursday 18th May 2006.

Saved Policies

On the 21st April 2009 the Secretary of State issued a direction under paragraph 1(3) of Schedule 8 to the Planning and Compulsory Act 2004. This direction confirmed that all the policies in the Replacement Pendle Local Plan (2001-2016) are saved until such a time that they are replaced by policies in Development Plan Documents (DPDs) as part of the Local Development Framework (LDF) preparation.

Pendle Local Development Framework

Under the provisions of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act (2004), a new planning system was introduced for England and Wales. The old style of Local Plan is being replaced with a suite of documents called a Local Development Framework.
