The Unitary Development Plan

The Unitary Development Plan (UDP) was the previous Development Plan for the borough. It provided the statutory planning framework for the local planning authority setting out the objectives, policies and proposals for the use of land and buildings in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea between 2002 and 2010.

Under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 some of the policies contained within the Council’s UDP were saved in September 2007. The others were shown as expired.

The Core Strategy was adopted on 8 December 2010 and replaces most of the policies in the UDP. Chapter 41 of the Core Strategy (section 3) of the Core Strategy is the Policy Replacement Schedule which contains information on the policies of the UDP that have been kept, those that have been replaced by the policies in the Core Strategy and those that have been superseded. We have produced a separate document to explain the extant policies and guidance in the UDP which can be downloaded below.
