New website
We're currently redeveloping our website so you may see a mix of old and new style pages while we complete this work. We'd love to hear your feedback on the new style.
SPDs, guidance notes and supporting documents
Extra guidance and advice on how we apply certain planning policies.
Supplementary planning documents (SPDs)

Adopted SPDs
We currently have SPDs about affordable housing, heritage interpretation, landscape and trees, main town centre uses and retail frontages and open space and play.
SPDs in progress
We are currently writing new SPDs which give more detail on GNLP policy 2 (Sustainable Communities), policy 3 (Environmental Protection and Enhancement) and policy 5 (Homes).
