Supplementary planning guidance and documents

What are Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs)?

Supplementary Planning Documents have replaced Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) and provide additional information to support policies contained in our local plan. They are subject to public consultation and influence planning decisions, such as the determination of planning applications.
