Consultation process

The SPD has been prepared in accordance with the regulations and has been subject to 6 weeks of public consultation which took place from 1st November 2018 – 13tH December 2018. This has resulted in some changes to the document, particularly relating to how the document is read and understood as guidance and not a set of prescriptive standards to be met absolutely, with development proposals being collaborative in their approach, design, and delivery.
