Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) is non-statutory
guidance which supplements policies within the Adopted Lcoal
Plan. Supplementary Planning Documents are similar to the
Council's existing Supplementary Planning Guidance. They
elaborate on the current Adopted Local Plan policies and, in
future, Development Plan Documents, with which they must be
consistent. Supplementary Planning Dcoumetns are capable of
being a 'material consideration' in determining planning
applications but they are afforded less weight than the Development
Plan Documents. As work on the Local Development
Framework progresses, a number of existing SPGs will be
replaced with SPDs and further SPDs will be developed.
The Planning Obligations Supplementary Planning Document (SPD)
sets out the Council's approach to securing planning obligations
and provides details on the type and level of contributions that
will be sought from new development. The SPD was adopted by Council
on 28th February 2007 following public consultation in autumn
2006.
