International Advanced Manufacturing Park

IAMP AAP

The International Advanced Manufacturing Park (IAMP) is located within the administrative boundaries of Sunderland and South Tyneside and represents a unique opportunity for the automotive and advanced manufacturing sectors in the UK. The existing IAMP Area Action Plan (AAP) was adopted by both Councils in November 2017.

The Existing IAMP AAP

The Councils formally adopted the IAMP AAP in November 2017.

The IAMP AAP (PDF, 8 MB) forms part of the adopted development plans for both Sunderland and South Tyneside Councils and sets the planning policy framework against which applications within the IAMP area are assessed

The AAP Policies are also shown on the Council's Interactive Local Plan Policies Map together with the other adopted plan policies.

The User Guide provides further assistance on how to use the interactive map.

Plan Review

In October 2022 the Councils undertook a review of the existing IAMP AAP. This was required in order to ensure that local planning policies remain effective and up to date, as required by the National Planning Policy Framework.
