Saved Policies

The Local Plan was adopted under the transitional arrangements of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 for a period of three years ending on 19 July 2009. 

Swindon Borough Council applied to the Secretary of State to save some of the policies within the Local Plan for a further period until such time they are replaced by the Swindon Core Strategy and the Site Allocations Development Plan Documents.

The Secretary of State's decision is available in a downloadable PDF file:

Some of the policies within the Local Plan have been superceded by the Central Area Action Plan which was adopted in February 2009.
