Site Specific Policies DPD
The Broads Authority is preparing a new development plan document (DPD) of site specific policies, to give effect and more detail to the adopted Core Strategy DPD. It will replace or update the ‘Individual Settlement Policies’ remaining from the 1997 Broads Local Plan and complement the Development Management Policies DPD.
Work continues apace to put in place this last piece of the Local Development Framework jigsaw and replace the remains of the 1997 Broads Local Plan. The Draft Site Specific Policies (Issues, Options and Preferred Options) was published for consultation in February 2012. The Authority is now considering responses to the consultation and will publish its Proposed Site Specific Policies Development Plan Document in Autumn 2012. Responses to that consultation will considered by an independent planning inspector who will decide whether the Authority can finally adopt the plan (likely to be around mid-2013).
