Evidence Base of Existing Planning Policy Framework

 

What is the Evidence Base?

In creating the series of planning documents which together comprise the current Northumberland Consolidated Planning Policy Framework, it was necessary to develop an evidence base which ensured that the planning documents were founded on a robust and credible basis.

 

The most recent evidence base which supported the current suite of planning documents is very extensive so it is not possible to provide the entire set of documents here. To obtain copies of these documents, please contact the Planning Strategy Service by e-mail at PlanningStrategy@northumberland.gov.uk.
