| THE FORM OF THE PLAN |
| |
| i) |
The City of Sunderland Unitary Development
Plan is in two Parts. Part I provides a general introduction to the
Unitary Development Plan, its purpose and the broad geographical and
social context within which it is being prepared. The main substance
to Part I is included in the Introduction and Strategy chapter, which
includes Strategic Policies. The latter are on a topic by topic basis,
each topic being preceded by relevant objectives and succeeded by
a summary of the main effects the policies are expected to bring about.
|
| ii) |
Part II is introduced by a chapter entitled
"Planning for People" which sets out the demographic constraints and
opportunities which are likely to prevail over the next 10 - 15 years.
This provides the context within which the policies and proposals
have been formulated. This is accompanied by a over-arching chapter
"Resources for the Future" which outlines key environmental and sustainability
matters. The following chapters fall into three sections, Urban Regeneration,
Environment and Transportation. Each chapter includes a background
to the topic covered, together with both the Part I and City-wide
Part II policies, with their reasoned justifications. |
| iii) |
An appraisal of the overall impact the
Plan may have on the environment of the City is included, followed
by a chapter outlining the resources likely to be available for the
implementation of proposals, expanding on paras. 1.15 - 1.17 below.
It also indicates the Council's intentions with regard to monitoring
progress in achieving the objectives of the Plan and outlines the
circumstances in which the Plan will be reviewed. |
| iv) |
Detailed proposals for specific sites
are included in four chapters, each dealing with an area of the City.
Within these chapters, the proposals are ordered so far as possible
in accordance with the Part I and Citywide Part II policies. Within
each, there are main commercial areas discussed in more detail and
shown on insets to the Proposals Map, notably the City Centre. The
four divisions are:- |
| |
- Sunderland South of the River Wear
- Sunderland North of the River Wear
- Washington, and
- Houghton/Hetton .
|
| v) |
The Plan concludes with a series of appendices
which provide; |
| |
- detailed technical information;
- a Glossary of terms and documentation referred to in the Plan;
and
- an alphabetical index
|
| |
The Proposals Maps and
Other Illustrative Material |
| vi) |
Proposals Maps at 1:10,000 scale on two
sheets showing the proposals related to a colour coded land use key
are included in a pocket at the back of this book. Inset Maps at a
larger scale show in more detail the main commercial areas of the
City. All these maps are a formal part of the UDP. In order to reproduce
the Proposals at this scale, some generalisation has been necessary.
If clarification of any boundary is needed, the Director of the Environment
will be able to supply details at a larger scale on request. |
| |
In the text other figures are included
to give additional information to help users understand the proposals
or to indicate how a proposal might be developed. These illustrations
are informal and do not supersede the maps at the back of the document.
The details shown are the most up to date available but could be amended
before being implemented. |
