Supplementary Planning Documents

Including: development briefs, topic based guidance, ‘old style’ Supplementary Planning Guidance, Draft Supplementary Planning Documents

These documents all provide more detail on our formal planning policies, as set out in the adopted Replacement Local Plan or draft Aligned Core Strategy.

Adopted Supplementary Planning Documents

Our adopted Supplementary Planning Documents form part of the planning framework for the Borough and are a material consideration in determining planning applications.  We currently have two types of Supplementary Planning Documents – development briefs and topic based.  

For details of those Supplementary Planning Documents we are planning to prepare in the future please view our Local Development Scheme on the Local Development Framework page.

Development Briefs

The purpose of Development Briefs is to establish development aims and principles for a specific development site and to clarify the planning requirements relating to the site. Through their preparation, the local community and other stakeholders have an opportunity to influence the future development of the site.

Topic Based

Affordable Housing Supplementary Planning Document

This Supplementary Planning Document addresses the issue of affordable housing provision in the Borough. It will help us secure affordable housing through the planning system by providing land owners, developers and Registered Providers of Affordable Housing with clear and detailed advice on our criteria for the provision of affordable housing.

The document offers a revised framework that can be used in negotiations with developers as part of the pre-application discussions and at the planning application stage.

Draft Supplementary Planning Documents

Parking Provision for Residential Development Supplementary Planning Document

The Council are preparing a Supplementary Planning Document to address the issue of parking provision for residential developments. The document has been prepared as a draft and was the subject of a four week consultation period between Friday 4^th November and Friday 2^nd December 2011. 

• Parking Provision for Residential Development Draft SPD October 2011 [210kb]

The purpose of the document is to ensure that new residential development is supported by the appropriate level of parking provision to accommodate demand.  When adopted, the document will replace the following:-

• Nottinghamshire County Council’s Supplementary Guidance ‘Parking Provision for New Developments’ (May 2004) where it applies to new residential developments.
• Appendix 5 of the Gedling Borough Replacement Local Plan (which contains the May 2004 document), where it applies to new residential developments.

  Next Step

Following consideration of the results of this exercise, the document will be amended where appropriate.   The document will then be formally adopted as a Supplementary Planning Document as part of the Local Development Framework for Gedling Borough.  As such, it will be a significant material consideration to be taken into account by the Borough Council when processing planning applications.
