The Draft Active Travel Supplementary Planning Document (SPD)

The council is consulting on the Draft Active Travel Supplementary Planning Document (SPD). This Consultation will run from 06 September till 04 October 2023.

Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs)

SPDs expand upon how local plan policies should be applied. They cannot set new policy but build on adopted policy.

The Active Travel SPD aims to clearly set out the principles we expect to ensure development proposals respond to the climate emergency by delivering a high quality cohesive network of active travel routes and support sustainable growth in line with the adopted Local Plan.
