Existing Dwellings in the Green Belt Supplementary Planning Document

Consultation has now closed

Please note that the consultation on the draft SPD closed on the 22 of May 2008. Many thanks for all the comments received.

 

Further Information

A significant number of planning applications for extensions to existing residential properties in the Green Belt and a lesser number of applications for replacement dwellings are dealt with by the Council each year. The majority of these are householder applications are submitted by the general public.

The purpose of this document is to provide further information and guidance on the approach the Council as a Local Planning Authority will take in relation to extensions to dwellings in the Green Belt and the circumstances under which replacement dwellings will be acceptable.

This document aims to provide clearer advice and guidance for the benefit of members of the public, planning officers and Council Members.

The consultation period on this draft SPD will run from the 10th April to the 22nd May 2008. We welcome comments from the public or interested groups. A comment form can be downloaded from this page.

Copies of these documents can be viewed in all public libraries in the district and in Council offices. For further details see the Consultation Notice which can be downloaded from this page.

Following consideration of the comments received and a formal adoption process it is anticipated that these new supplementary planning documents will come into force from August 2008.
