Local planning and design guidance
We have produced a range of guidance documents to assist in decision making.
In addition to the Local Plan and Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs) that are published on the planning policy webpage we have produced a range of other guidance documents to assist your planning and design decisions.
These guidance documents are listed in the directories below and include the more formal Supplementary Planning Guidance documents (SPGs).
The directory below contains informal planning guidance which can also be used as material consideration in the determination of a planning application.
