We invited 'initial comments' between 4 May 2006 to 15 June 2006 on the 'Initial Draft' Supplementary Planning Documents listed below.

Supplementary Planning Documents or SPDs expand on policies already set out in the development plan documents.  Unlike development plan documents these are not subject to independent examination.

1.Initial Draft - Elmsleigh Centre Western and Southern Extension Planning Brief
2.Initial Draft - Bridge Street Car Park, Staines Planning Brief

In addition we invited you to give us initial comments on two forthcoming SPDs.  The scope of these had not been finalised and we asked your views on issues that should be covered.

3.Development Control Policies SPD – will provide further detailed guidance on the application of some development control policies including design of new development, advice on historic buildings, parking standards and contributions from new development towards improvements to infrastructure and services.
4.Affordable Housing SPD – the SPD will provide detailed guidance on Policy HO3 in the Strategy and Policies DPD on the provision of affordable housing.
