Introduction
The Waverley Borough Local Plan 2002 sets out the Council's policies for guiding and controlling the way that buildings and land are used and developed. The Local Plan was intended to serve up to the end of 2006 but the majority of the policies have now been 'saved' under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and continue to form part of the development plan. Over time the policies of the Local Plan will be replaced by those in the Local Development Framework.
Saved Policies
From 28th September 2007 some of the policies in the Local Plan ceased to have effect following a Direction by the Secretary of State under Paragraph 1(3) of Schedule 8 to the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.
The remaining policies continue to be part of the development plan and are known as 'Saved Policies'. They will continue to be used in determining planning applications and guiding appropriate development.
