What are Supplementary Planning Documents?
SPDs are intended to expand upon policy or provide further detail to policies in the adopted Development Plan.
Stages in the production of an SPD:
- Evidence gathering and preparation of draft SPD.
- Public consultation on the draft SPD (6 weeks).
- Consider representations received and finalise SPD.
- Adoption of SPD.
