Supplementary Planning Documents
Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs)
Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs) are produced to provide more detail on the application of policy, either for specific sites or on specific subjects.
SPDs do not have 'development plan' status, but are subject to public consultation and can be used as material considerations in the determination of planning applications.
