Planning authorities have a statutory requirement to prepare development plans covering the whole of their area. The North Tyneside Unitary Development Plan (U.D.P.) covers all of North Tyneside. It was formally adopted by the council in March 2002, and has replaced or incorporated all previous Development Plans for the area with the exception of the Regional Spatial Strategy.

FORMAT OF THE U.D.P.
The U.D.P. consists of a Written Statement and a Proposals Map. The Written Statement is in two main sections.
Part I of the Written Statement is a statement of borough-wide policies providing a context and framework for the detailed proposals in Part II. It sets out a broad development and land use strategy for the borough including policies for the improvement of its physical environment, conservation of its natural beauty, and management of traffic.
Part II of the Written Statement. forms the basis for deciding planning applications and includes the Council's detailed proposals stemming from its strategic Part I policies. It contains a reasoned justification for the strategic policies in Part I and the proposals in Part II. It includes a set of topic based chapters (Chapters 4-11) together with a Glossary and Index.
Details of the purposes and the form of the UDP are set out in the Introduction (Chapter 2) of the Written Statement.
The U.D.P. Proposals Map is on an ordnance survey base and shows the proposals on a borough wide map together with three inset maps covering the town centres of Wallsend,North Shields and Whitley Bay.
