Local Planning Guidance Notes

The Council has approved a series of Local Planning Guidance Notes which amplify Development Plan policy. These are used where the study area is relatively small or the topic specific, often when flexibility and speed of response is required for Planning Control decisions.

Each of the following publications are also available in Welsh, large print, Braille, Moon, or on tape. Please complete our online form to request information in alternative formats.
