Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs)
Supplementary Planning Documents will expand on policies and provide detailed supporting information on certain subjects. These can be prepared as required.
The Council will prepare a Planning Obligations SPD which will provide guidance and clarity to the Council's approach to negotiating planning obligations arising from development (set out in Policy CT2 of the Core Strategy)
Planning Obligations are legal agreements between a developer and the planning authority, made to ensure that new development does not put a strain on existing services and facilities like open space, recreation and leisure facilities, roads, schools, libraries or other community services. They are used when planning conditions cannot be applied e.g. for off-site contributions towards infrastructure and services.
