An initial consultation on the draft SPD was held between 5th February and 9th March 2021. The draft SPD has now been amended where necessary to address comments made during the consultation. The Consultation Statement explains where changes have been made to address the comments received and where amendments are not considered necessary.
The draft SPD sets out overarching principles for how the Council will approach development viability, where this is a consideration as part of the planning process.
