Supplementary Guidance

What is it?

Supplementary Guidance (SG) explains, in detail, how the City Development Plan's policies are to be implemented and are used in the determination of planning applications.

Each policy in the City Development Plan has corresponding Supplementary Guidance. City Development Plan Policy 2: Sustainable Spatial Strategy will have area specific development strategies and masterplans. 

For more information on polices and proposals please see here.

Consultation and status

All of the SG has now undergone public consultation, with the exception of the Spatial Supplementary Guidance (see below). Eight pieces of SG have now been adopted by the council. A further three pieces of SG are currently being revised as a result of the consultation exercises, see 'Interim Planning Guidance' below.

Until these final three pieces of guidance can be adopted the Council will operate Interim versions of the guidance which are called Interim Planning Guidance (IPG).

These IPG's have the corresponding SG number, i.e. SG3 = IPG3. Once these final three pieces of guidance have been adopted the Interim Guidance will be replaced by the Supplementary Guidance.

The consultation versions of the outstanding SG'S can be viewed via the consultation hub at Completed Consultations.  

A suite of topic based supplementary guidance has been prepared to sit alongside the new Plan below.

Adopted Supplementary Guidance

Spatial Guidance currently being prepared

Spatial Guidance is currently being prepared and will be adopted through the life of the plan. Each guidance document will have a public consultation and will be adopted by the Council.

Maps

A number of maps have been created in order to support the Plan. They can either be accessed interactively online or downloaded as a PDF. The maps are a spatial illustration of the Plan's policies and proposals.
