The consultation on the Draft Noise SPD has now closed. The SPD will be adopted by April 2009.
The draft Noise Supplement Planning Document (SPD) will form part of the Local Development Framework. The SPD sets out the Council’s requirements relating to planning and noise. The draft SPD supports Unitary Development Plan Policies CD40; CD52; H2 and H4 and provides detailed guidance on their implementation. The draft SPD also supplements regional and national planning policy, and in particular Planning Policy Guidance Note 24: Planning and Noise.
The draft SPD, together with all other supporting documents, are available below. However, copies of the documents are available for inspection at the Planning Information Desk, Town Hall and at all local libraries in the Royal Borough.
The comments raised during the consultation will be recorded. Officers will consider a response and propose amendments to the SPD and/or Sustainability Appraisal where appropriate. The final SPD, together with the schedule of comments and officer responses, will then be presented to Councillors for approval.
