Saved policies

As a result of changes to national guidance, the Secretary of State has directed the Council to 'save' particular policies in the Local Plan until such time as they are replaced.  There are eight policies in the Local Plan which have now been deleted because they repeat national guidance or because they are no longer applicable.
