HOW TO USE THE UNITARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN
 
i) Part I policies are shown throughout in capitals with a shaded background; Part II policies are also in capitals, but without a shaded background.
ii) You can use the UDP in three main ways.
   
  To Find Background Information on Particular Topics
  You can do this by either
(1) referring to the relevant chapter (see Contents), or
(2) by looking at the alphabetical index at the rear to find references to specific aspects made throughout the document.
   
  To Find Strategic (Part I) and Citywide (Part II) Policies for Different Land Uses
  The Strategy and Objectives of the Plan can be read in Part I. The Part I policies are also listed there, but are repeated and explained in chapters 3 - 16. You can read about these and Citywide land use policies for housing, shopping, etc. by finding the relevant subject chapter and looking up the aspects you are interested in.
   
  To Find what is Proposed for a Particular Site or Area
  First find the site on the Proposals Map - or on the Insets Maps if the site is within one of the four main commercial areas.
  If the site is covered or bounded by one of the key colours or notations and has a proposal number against it, then look up the proposal in one of the four area chapters (Chapters 19-22). If the site is coloured but has no specific proposal number against it look at the numbers against the colour notation in the key. These refer to the Part I and Citywide policies in Part II of the Written Statement. You can read about these in the appropriate chapters (Chapters 3-16).
  If the site has no notation, then it will not be directly affected by an individual proposal - but its future use might be affected by some of the Part I and Citywide Policies. For example, you will find that policy EN10 applies to all such areas.
  So to help find which policies might apply to your particular site, look within:
(1) those topics which cover the general use of the area and which might therefore apply to your site,
(2) those topics which cover the current use of the site.
