Policy context

The relationship of the AAP to other key strategies and policies.

Birmingham Core Strategy Consultation Draft, December 2010
The Core Strategy for Birmingham is currently under development and will eventually replace the Birmingham UDP 2005. An Issues and Options report was consulted on in autumn 2008. The Core Strategy Consultation Draft was published in December 2010 for public consultation. Four themes have been identified which underpin the spatial vision lying at the heart of the Core Strategy. These themes are: sustainable growth; a vibrant global city; high quality of life; sense of place and an innovative and connected city. The AAP is in conformity with the Core Strategy Consultation Draft.

Birmingham Unitary Development Plan 2005 (UDP)
The UDP is the statutory development plan for the whole of Birmingham and was adopted on 11 October 2005. The Aston, Newtown and Lozells AAP is in conformity with the policies in Part One of the UDP. It will, however, replace the policies and proposals which relate to the AAP area.

Birmingham Sustainable Community Strategy
Birmingham 2026, Birmingham's Sustainable Community Strategy, approved in July 2008, sets out a high-level over-arching vision for Birmingham. The vision is defined around five outcomes to enable Birmingham's people to: succeed economically; stay safe in a clean green city; be healthy; enjoy a high quality of life; and make a contribution.
