UDP Alteration Number 2 (Central Sunderland)

Significant changes in the City, affecting sites such as the former Vaux Brewery and Groves Cranes factory, along with changes in Government Policy signalled a need to revise key parts of the UDP within Central Sunderland, primarily relating to the older industrial areas along the banks of the River Wear, coincident with operational area of Sunderland URC. Following initial public consultation, the Alteration was progressed through the statutory planning process.

A Public Local Inquiry (PLI) into Alteration No.2 - Central Sunderland was held for 1 week in July 2006 at the Stadium of Light, the purpose of the Public Local Inquiry was to enable any objections to Alteration No.2 to be examined by an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State. The PLI closed on 4th April 2007. After considering objections made at the Inquiry, by written representations, the Inspector prepared a binding report, Alteration No.2 was formally adopted in September 2007 (a 6 week period will commence in which the Alteration can be challenged at the High Court, it will then form part of the Council's adopted Development Plan).
