DCLG Direction 2007: Statement

	By virtue of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, Ealing’s adopted unitary development plan policies were saved for 3 years from the date the plan was adopted – ie three years from October 2004. The Secretary of State, responsible for the Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG), has now made a direction to save all the policies in the plan beyond the 3 year period, with the exception of the policies referred to below. The direction was actually issued by the Government Office for London. It is included in a new Appendix to the UDP for information.
	The policies that have not been saved are policies 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 1.11 (from Part One of the 2004 adopted UDP), and 5.1 on Housing Supply. These policies expired on the 11th October 2007.
	It should be noted that policy 1.10 and all other policies in the UDP have been saved, and will remain adopted development plan policies until the adoption of new policies in the Local Development Framework. This is programmed for 2013.
	This new edition of the unitary development plan also updates references to – • Supplementary planning documents published by Ealing Council since 2004; • the policies in the consolidated London Plan published in February 2008; • Government documents published since 2004 (primarily Planning Policy Statements). • Changes to the General Permitted Development Order, 2008.
	This updated information is set out in the references alongside the saved UDP policies in volume one of the Written Statement. The ‘other documents’ list has not been updated.
	Published: Ealing Council, 2008.
