Supplementary Planning Documents

Supplementary Planning Documents can build upon and provide more detailed advice or guidance on policies in an adopted local plan. They are not planning policies but can be a material consideration in the determination of planning applications.

The Council proposes to supplement the Northumberland Local Plan with a range of additional advice and guidance. This is likely to include Supplementary Planning Documents. A range of issues have been identified as potentially benefitting from additional guidance, including: 
  • Design  
  • Affordable Housing  
  • Renewable Energy  
  • Open space and Play  

Planning Guidance

Existing ‘Supplementary Planning Guidance’ and other guidance and advice, can be found in the Consolidated Planning Policy Framework.
