Supplementary Planning Documents (SPD), whilst not having development plan status, form part of the Local Development Framework. A number of existing Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) documents have been prepared and adopted by the Council and are currently in use as guidance for applicants and others involved in the planning process. It is intended that these will be replaced over time by SPDs.
A proposed program of the new SPDs is set out in the Local Development Scheme. Draft SPDs published for public consultation and adopted SPDs will be available on this page.
The adopted versions of the SPDs, the consultation drafts and the supporting documents are available to download from the relevant pages:
