In addition to the Development Plan Documents (DPDs) listed above, the Local Development Framework (LDF) also comprises a number of Supplementary Planning Documents.
We also monitor our adopted planning policies and the borough’s heritage assets, and provide guidance on
high hedges and
Tree Preservation Orders in the borough.
We are currently preparing a
Community Infrastructure Levy, a new system of developer contributions.
