Broadland & South Norfolk Custom and Self-Build Housing SPD

1. What is a Supplementary Planning Document? Comment View responses

1.1 Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs) expand upon policy and provide further detail to support the implementation of policies in local plans. Whilst not a part of the development plan, they are a material consideration in the determination of planning applications. The adopted Local Plan policies for both Broadland and South Norfolk Councils on which this SPD provides guidance can be viewed online at Current Local Plan – Broadland and South Norfolk (southnorfolkandbroadland.gov.uk). Other adopted and emerging SPDs for both Councils can be viewed at Supplementary Planning Documents – Broadland and South Norfolk (southnorfolkandbroadland.gov.uk).

1.2 SPDs may be prepared jointly, particularly where a consistent policy approach is required over an area covered by more than one local planning authority. This SPD is supplementary to policies in the adopted Greater Norwich Local Plan (March 2024) and as such is applicable to both South Norfolk and Broadland Council's areas.
