What is a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD)?
An SPD provides guidance on planning policies in the Local Plan. They can be:
- appraisals of particular areas
- planning briefs for specific sites or
- topic-based supplementary planning guidance notes.
They are subject to public consultation. This is under our Statement of Community Involvement. They must be consistent with national and regional planning policies. They are essential when assessing planning applications.
