Planning advice: meeting LDP requirements
Published: 26 September 2017Last Updated: 25 April 2025
Planning advice provides best practice guidance on how to meet the requirements of the Local Development Plan. The guidance provides applicants with a useful steer on proposals, leading to better quality developments from the outset. We review this advice regularly and update it as required.
In addition in 2015 the Economic Development team has provided advice on obtaining community benefits from renewable energy developments, including wind turbines.
View the most up to date agreed planning advice which reflects the National Planning Framework 4.
