Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG)

'Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) does not form a part of the plan. It can take the form of design guides or area development briefs, or supplement other specific policies in a plan. SPG must itself be consistent with national and regional planning guidance, as well as the policies set out in the adopted development plan. It should be clearly cross-referenced to the relevant plan policy or proposal which it supplements.  It should be issued separately from the plan and made publicly available; consultation should be undertaken, and the status of the SPG should be made clear. SPG should be reviewed on a regular basis alongside reviews of the development plan policies or proposals to which is relates.'
Planning Policy Guidance Note 12: Development Plans, December 1999.
