February 2021 update

As a result of the current government coronavirus (Covid-19) guidance, the Council are not able to meet the requirements of the SCI regarding the availability of hard copies of planning policy documents. As a consequence, the Council have produced a SCI Addendum, which sets out temporary changes in respect of the inspection of planning policy documents.  The temporary SCI Addendum will apply while Covid-19 restrictions are in place.
