Supplementary Planning Guidance Notes

The LDP sets out in Appendix 2 of the written statement a set of SPGs to be adopted to support the LDP. The list below sets out these SPGs and the version presently being used.

All development proposals will take account of Adopted Supplementary Planning Guidance where relevant, which includes detailed guidance concerning individual sites, development issues, and particular types of development and will be a material consideration in determining planning applications. In terms of material considerations, greater weight can be attached to a guidance note if it has been formally adopted as Supplementary Planning Guidance.
