Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs)

Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs)

Supplementary Planning Documents are documents which provide more detailed policy guidance to complement policies contained within the Local Plan.

Supplementary Planning Documents can take a variety of forms. For example they can cover particular topics such as affordable housing or open space in more detail, or contain design guidance on issues such as reducing crime, or they can be spatial, such as a master plan for a site. Telford & Wrekin Council's adopted SPDs are listed below.

Homes for All SPD

In March 2020 the Council adopted its Supported and Specialist Accommodation Strategy. This provides an evidence base around supported, specialist and accessible housing needs in the borough.

Further to this work the Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) ‘Homes for All: Providing accessible, supported and specialist housing in Telford and Wrekin’ will support the delivery of a broader range of accommodation including housing for older people, residents with care needs and vulnerable young people.
