We have produced a new draft Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) on planning obligations.
The document helps guide applicants on how to apply for planning permission in line with the council’s general requirements arising from the impacts of development. The SPD ensures there is a consistent approach for negotiating and securing planning obligations to mitigate against the impact of development.
This guidance is particularly relevant to developers preparing planning applications. Residents and other stakeholders within the borough may also find this document helpful when responding to planning applications.
The aim of the Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) is to give further guidance on planning policies that are referenced in our draft Local Plan which is at an advanced stage and will provide the planning framework for development in the Borough until 2036. The new Local Plan is due to be adopted by early 2025.

What happens after the consultation closes
Following the end of the consultation all feedback received will be reviewed and considered. Updates will be made to the Planning Obligations SPD and it will be put forward for adoption. The Council will produce a Consultation Statement which outlines how we’ve considered responses on the SPD.
Once adopted it will be used when assessing planning applications and negotiating S106 for new development.
