Unitary Development Plan

Supplementary Planning Guidance

Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPGs) provide additional guidance to the policies contained within the UDP on specific planning issues.
SPGs will continue to inform decision making where relevant.

From 2008, under the Local Development Framework, new documents called Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs) will be made available to supplement and/or supercede SPGs.

SPGs are non statutory documents and can be downloaded below:
