Unitary Development Plan (UDP)

Sunderland City Council adopted the Core Strategy and Development Plan (2015-2033) on 30 January 2020.  As a result, the Core Strategy and Development Plan supersedes some of the policies of the Unitary Development Plan (UDP) as the adopted development plan for Sunderland.

A number of a UDP policies have been retained and will be used alongside the Core Strategy and Development Plan until they are replaced by the forthcoming Allocations and Development Plan.  A schedule of the saved UDP policies can be found in Appendix 1 of the Core Strategy and Development Plan.  

To view the saved UDP policies, alongside the other adopted development plan policies, please use the Council's Interactive Local Plan Policies Map.  The User Guide provides further assistance on how to use the interactive map.
