New Supplementary Planning Documents Consultation
The Council are working on some new Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs) to support the policies in the adopted Local Plan.
The Council are currently inviting all residents, businesses and other interested parties to comment on two SPD scoping reports.
The draft SPD scoping reports that are available for comment are:
Affordable and Supported Homes SPD scoping report
A scoping report on the preparation to update the Affordable and Supported Housing SPD. The scoping report outlines this SPD will provide additional guidance on how Local Plan policy HC1 ‘affordable and special needs housing’ should be interpreted and applied in proposals for housing developments. It is particularly aimed at professionals, such as consultants and developers as well as anyone interested in the delivery of affordable housing within Sefton. The scoping report further outlines key issues in consideration for the SPD, relevant planning policies and provides a timetable to completion.
