Consultation process

Supplementary Planning Documents (SPD) must undergo consultation as set out in the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) Regulations 2012.

 

These require at least one public consultation for a minimum of four weeks. Following consultation the SPD will need to be agreed by the Council.

Consultees

Any person may make representations on SPDs.  The Planning Contributions and Affordable Housing SPD is expected to be of most interest to the development industry.  However, Community Partnerships and Neighbourhood Forums will also be important consultees since the SPD will set S106 priorities.

 

A range of different parts of the Council and Torbay Development Agency will be involved in the preparation of the SPD.
