Guidance for the preparation of SPDs

SPD deal with various subjects such as design guides, site development briefs, issue and thematic based documents. These are not formal Development Plan Documents and are thus not subject to independent examination. SPD provide the opportunity to expand upon policy in the suite of DPDs with the specific intention to show how policy can be best implemented. PPS12 Companion Guide (p.24) suggests that SPD should:

• be consistent with the policies in national policy and be in general conformity with the relevant regional spatial strategy;
• be in conformity with and clearly cross-referenced to the relevant development plan document(s) policies they support;
• be reviewed on a regular basis alongside reviews of development plan document policies to which they relate;
• be produced through community involvement, in accordance with the statement of community involvement;
• set out clearly their status – they should be subject to a council resolution to adopt as a local development document;
• state how they have been prepared together with a statement of compliance explaining how their preparation relates to the statement of community involvement; and
• expand or supplement policy in development plan documents, but must not be used to avoid policies being subject to independent examination.
