Supplementary planning documents
Supplementary planning guidance notes (SPGs) and supplementary planning documents (SPDs) explain in greater detail how we will use our policies to manage development. They may be topic-based e.g. on open space, or may relate to a specific site, e.g. Yew Tree Farm. We use both SPGs and SPDs when determining planning applications.
