There are no current consultations.

The government are progressing plan-making reforms and have set out transitional arrangements allowing for the adoption of an SPD prior to 30 June 2026. Any future updates will need to be progressed as guidance.

Upcoming consultations

Guidance on domestic retrofit is expected to go out for consultation later in the year.

Recent consultations

We recently consulted on the four draft SPDs covering biodiversity, trees and development, local views, and transport.

The SPDs are now adopted and are material considerations in assessing planning applications. For further details view supplementary planning documents and guidance.
