Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs)

Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs) are used to provide more detail and information about policies and proposals found in Development Plan Documents (DPDs). Although SPDs are not part of the statutory Development Plan, they do however form part of the Local Development Framework (LDF), and are therefore an important consideration in determining planning applications.

SPD's can cover a range of issues and can be based on a particular theme (like affordable housing) and/or on a particular area (like a Conservation Area). They must be consistent with national and regional planning policy, as well as the other documents in the LDF.

The Council has produced five SPDs so far. Each one has been through public consultation and has been adopted by the Council. They are material considerations that can be taken into account when determining a planning application.

Adopted SPDs:

• Affordable Housing SPD (Jun 2008)
• Sustainable Development SPD (Sep 2009)
• Domestic Extensions SPD (Dec 2009)
• Conservation Area Appraisals (for Bedale, Easingwold, Northallerton, Stokesley and Thirsk/Sowerby with Design Guide) SPD (Dec 2010)
• Open Space, Sport and Recreation SPD (Feb 2011)

Draft SPDs:

• Infrastructure Provision & Delivery SPD

For details of other SPDs to be prepared see the Local Development Scheme and the monthly LDF Update.
