Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs)
Supplementary Planning Documents (SPD) are produced as a
supplement to the Local Plan produced by the City Council. The aim
of the document is to indicate how the City Council interprets the
policies of the adopted Local Plan in a particular circumstance.
Some guidance applies to the whole district and will deal with a
particular issue; others apply to only part of it such as an Area
of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Documents can also be site
specific, especially where development is proposed such as the
sites allocated in the Local Plan.
Supplementary Planning Documents are prepared in consultation
with the community and set in the context of national planning
policies. Once adopted by the City Council, the document will be
used by planning officers and the Development Control Committee
when considering planning applications.
Supplementary Planning Documents are available free from the
City Council.
