Supplementary Planning Guidance

Certain policy matters within the Development Plan require further guidance and explanation to aid understanding. These detailed issues are produced as Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG). This additional guidance is non-statutory and generally not part of the Development Plan itself.

Within Stirling, SPG includes Development Advice Notes (DANs), Planning Briefs and Interim Policies. All of these will be reviewed during the preparation of the new Local Development Plan and decisions will be made as to whether to retain particular guidance outwith the new Plan, or to upgrade it to become a statutory supplement to the Plan.

We currently have the following guidance in place:-

The Housing in the Countryside policy represents a significant change from the adopted Development Plan policies. Although not yet part of the Development Plan it will be the Council's policy for determining planning applications for housing developments in the countryside areas outwith the villages.

'Housing in the Countryside: Design Guidance'.

Approved in April 2011 as a companion guidance document to H10a-Housing in the Countryside.
