Supplementary Planning Document and Guidance Note

This Supplementary Planning Document (SPD)  document sets out our policy for securing planning obligations from new developments (often called 'Section 106') that require planning permission, and how this relates to the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL).

In addition, the Vacant Building Credit guidance note explains how the council will implement the provisions of national policy and guidance on applying vacant building credit to affordable housing contributions in Bath and North East Somerset.
