Newcastle City Council’s Submission Development and Allocations Plan (DAP), submission documents and supporting documents were submitted to the Secretary of State for examination on 13 March 2019. A Planning Inspector, appointed by the Secretary of State, will now conduct an examination into the DAP’s soundness and legal compliance.

The DAP is the second part of Newcastle’s Local Plan. The Local Plan is a collection of documents that will guide the future development in Newcastle to 2030. The DAP plays an important role in shaping the future of Newcastle. It provides more detailed policies to support and help to deliver the strategic policies set out in the Core Strategy and Urban Core Plan (CSUCP) which was adopted in 2015.

The DAP and Submission Documents include;
• Submission Development and Allocations Plan (DAP)
• Submission DAP Policies Map
• Schedule of Minor Modifications
• Consultation Feedback Report
• Sustainability Appraisal
• Duty to Co-Operate Statement
• Supporting documents relevant to the preparation of the DAP

These documents are available to view online at www.newcastle.gov.uk/localplan2 and at Newcastle Civic Centre.
