Town Centre Uses SPD
Planning system update
Our new planning system is now live. We are currently managing a high volume of applications, consultation responses, and local land charges search requests as we complete the transition to the new system.
If you notice any issues while using the service, please let us know. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
The Town Centre Uses supplementary planning document (SPD) details criteria that are material in determining planning applications related to public houses, hot food takeaways and betting shops.
The document aims to help protect public houses and bars which are of community or heritage value. It also seeks to control new units of hot food takeaways and resist new betting shops in areas of high concentration.
The SPD was adopted in March 2015.
