Development Corporation 3301423 219142148 2008-06-13T19:38:26Z Mauls 492987 /* New Town DCs */ In [[England and Wales]], '''Development Corporations''' are bodies set up by the [[UK government]] and charged with the urban development of an area, outside the usual system of [[Town and Country Planning in the United Kingdom]]. Members are appointed by central government and hence they are considered [[QUANGO]]s. New Town Development Corporations were set up for all the designated [[New Towns in the United Kingdom]]. Urban Development Corporations also exist, which deal with regeneration in already built-up areas. ==UDCs== {| class="wikitable" !Name !Area !Timeframe !Notes |- |[[Birmingham Heartlands Development Corporation|Birmingham Heartlands]] |parts of north eastern [[Birmingham]] |1992-1998 |[http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si1992/Uksi_19920584_en_1.htm] |- |[[Black Country Development Corporation|Black Country]] |parts of [[Sandwell]] and [[Metropolitan Borough of Walsall|Walsall]], in [[West Midlands (county)|West Midlands]] |1987-1998 |[http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si1987/Uksi_19870922_en_1.htm] |- |[[Bristol Development Corporation|Bristol]] |parts of eastern [[Bristol]] |1989-1995 |[http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si1989/Uksi_19890091_en_1.htm] |- |[[Cardiff Bay Development Corporation|Cardiff Bay]] |[[Cardiff]] docklands area, in City of Cardiff and [[Vale of Glamorgan]] |1987-2000 |[http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si1987/Uksi_19870646_en_1.htm] |- |[[Central Manchester Development Corporation|Central Manchester]] |180 ha of [[Manchester]], near [[Trafford]]/[[Salford]] border |1988-1996 |[http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si1988/Uksi_19881144_en_1.htm] |- |[[Leeds Development Corporation|Leeds]] |540 ha of [[Leeds]], along [[River Aire]]/[[Leeds and Liverpool Canal]], and south of city centre |1988-1995 |[http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si1988/Uksi_19881145_en_1.htm] |- |[[London Docklands Development Corporation|London Docklands]] |[[London Docklands]] |1981-1998 | |- |[[Merseyside Development Corporation|Merseyside]] |[[Merseyside]] (north [[Liverpool]] and [[Bootle]] docks) |1981-1998 | |- |[[Plymouth Development Corporation|Plymouth]] |67 ha of [[Plymouth]] docklands |1993-1998 |[http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si1993/Uksi_19930911_en_1.htm] |- |[[Sheffield Development Corporation|Sheffield]] |[[Lower Don Valley]] |1988-1997 |[http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si1988/Uksi_19881146_en_1.htm] |- |[[Teesside Development Corporation|Teesside]] |large tracts of land on [[River Tees]], some in [[Hartlepool]] |1987-1998 |[http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si1987/Uksi_19870923_en_1.htm] |- |[[Trafford Park Development Corporation|Trafford Park]] |large area in [[Trafford]] and [[Salford]] along the [[Manchester Ship Canal]] |1987-1998 |[http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si1987/Uksi_19870179_en_1.htm] |- |[[Tyne and Wear Development Corporation|Tyne and Wear]] |banks of the [[River Tyne]] and [[River Wear]] |1987-1998 |[http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si1987/Uksi_19870924_en_1.htm] |} ==Currently active== {| class="wikitable" !Name !Area !Timeframe !Notes |- | [[London Thames Gateway Development Corporation|London Thames Gateway]] | [[Lower Lea Valley]] (parts of Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Newham and Waltham Forest)<br>[[London Riverside]] (southern part of Barking & Dagenham, Havering and Newham) | 2004 - | |- | [[Thurrock Thames Gateway Development Corporation|Thurrock Thames Gateway]] | [[Thurrock]] | 2003 - | [http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2003/draft/20036708.htm] |- | [[West Northamptonshire Development Corporation|West Northamptonshire]] | [[Northamptonshire]] (parts of Northampton, Daventry and Towcester) | 2006 - | |} ==New Town DCs== {| class="wikitable" !
