Planning Policy & Development Plans The Planning Policy Team is responsible for the preparation of the Council's Development Plan, and is also engaged on a range of other strategic planning studies, area development briefs and other forward planning projects. The team provides guidance to developers, their agents and other relevant individuals/organisations on development potential, and also advises on emerging legislation, statutory procedures and relevant planning policies at the national, regional and local level.The City and County of Swansea Unitary Development Plan (UDP) which was adopted on 10th November 2008 is the most up to date Development Plan covering the authorities' administrative area and is used in the determination of planning applications. It sets out a range of policies and proposals relating to future development, and deals with the use and conservation of land and buildings within the City & County up to 2016. Further Information Further details on the UDP and other policy issues can be obtained by following the appropriate links on this page. You can also contact the Council's Planning Policy Team on 01792 635744 or email udp@swansea.gov.uk.  The UDP is based firmly on sustainable planning principles. This is reflected in its spatial strategy and overall approach to the pattern, form and distribution of new development.
 The planning system has recently undergone significant change, intended to simplify the local planning process and promote a more flexible, positive approach to managing development.
 Land use planning policy guidance in relation to mineral development in the county is contained within the Minerals Local Plan, which was adopted in January 1999.
 The IHLPS was approved by Council on 30th June 2005.
