Supplementary Planning Guidance Clause Samples

Supplementary Planning Guidance. 4.24.1. The Revised LDP will contain sufficient policies and proposals to provide the basis for determining planning applications. The selective use of SPG will be utilised as a means of setting out more detailed thematic policies or site-specific guidance on the way in which the LDP policies will be applied. SPG does not form part of the development plan but will be derived from policies contained within the plan, thus ensuring consistency in the policies/proposals that it supplements. 4.24.2. Following the adoption of RCTs current LDP, a number of SPG were produced to provide support to existing LDP policy. These were:  Design and Place-making (March 2011)  Design and Place-making: Access, Circulation and Parking (March 2011)  The Historic Environment (March 2011)  Design in Town Centres (March 2011)  A Design Guide for ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Development (March 2011)  Affordable Housing (March 2011)  Nature Conservation (March 2011)  Planning Obligations (March 2011)  Planning Obligations (Revised) (December 2014)  Shopfront Design (October 2014)  Development of Flats (June 2015)  Employment Skills (June 2015)  Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) (May 2018) 4.24.3. A review of all the existing SPG documents, including ones prepared more recently, will form part of the LDP full revision procedure, with amendment or revised likely in most instances. 4.24.4. The Council will use SPG to cover detailed and numerical guidelines where it is considered that they may change during the lifetime of the plan. This will ensure that the LDP does not become outdated in the short term and will assist with the flexibility of the plan. Where SPG will aid the understanding of the LDP, it will be prepared and consulted on in parallel. It will not however be possible to prepare all SPG in parallel and in these circumstances, SPG will be subject to a separate formal process of consultation and adoption. A report of public consultation will be prepared in respect of each SPG document. 4.24.5. SPG cannot be formally adopted until after the Inspector’s binding report has been received and it is clear that there will be no change in the policy approach.

Supplementary Planning Guidance. (SPG) is used to set out detailed thematic or site-specific guidance on the way in which the policies of an LDP are to be interpreted or applied in certain situations or areas. The use of SPG ensures that LDPs are prepared without the inclusion of excessive detail. SPG documents are not part of the LDP. However, subject to appropriate consultation being undertaken and to formal adoption by the Local Planning Authority, they may be a material planning consideration in the determination of planning applications. Further information on SPG is included later in this section.

Supplementary Planning Guidance. For the first iteration of the LDP, several items of Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) were prepared and adopted by the Council.

They can relate to specific topics or policies contained within the plan or they could also take the form of local level 'Place Plans'(16). The need to review existing SPG and prepare new SPG will be considered as part of the RLDP preparation process. The Pre-Deposit/ Preferred Strategy stage will be a key time at which any new SPG needed will be identified. Relevant stakeholders will be consulted during the production of SPG.
