Development Plan saved policies
Under the Planning
and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 , all Structure and Local
Plan policies were saved for three years from the date of the
commencement of the Act or from the date the plan was adopted, if
later.
As all of Medway’s Local Plan policies were in force when the
Act commenced, they were all due to expire after three years, on 27
September 2007.
If there were no appropriate Local Development Documents adopted
which could replace Local Plan policies, however, local planning
authorities could apply to the Secretary of State to issue a
direction to save policies until such time as they were replaced.
Medway Council consequently applied to the Secretary of State to
save those policies which remained in conformity with national and
regional planning policies and the Secretary of State issued a
direction on 21 September 2007.
The formal directions from the Government Office for the
South East (GOSE) for the following local plans:
Brickearth
Construction Aggregates
Chalk and Clay
Oil and gas
Kent Waste
Medway Local Plan

Letters to both Kent County Council (KCC) and Medway have been
included as appropriate. For the waste and minerals local plans,
GOSE sent schedules covering any Medway site-specific policies to
Medway Council, while the schedules covering generic or non-Medway
site-specific policies went to KCC.
