Part 3: Developing a local framework and listing priority projects (supplementary planning document)
This involves preparing a local framework or supplementary planning document explaining how the relevant policy in the RSS or LDF will be implemented. The SPD will elaborate policies in the LDF and will be prepared with the following process:

• draft prepared and approved by committee (draft to include environmental appraisal);
• public consultation (minimum six week period);

• final approval by local authority; and
• Implementation of the scheme.
