Supplementary Planning Documents & Guidance
Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs) support the development plans. All matters covered in SPDs must relate to policies or proposals in the Local Plan 2030, Chilmington Green AAP or a saved policy from the Core Strategy or previous DPDs. Ashford has a number of adopted SPD's which are used as material considerations when assessing planning applications.
Landscape Character SPD (includes AONB Management Plans)
Sustainable Drainage (SuDs) SPD
Residential Space & Layout SPD
Public Green Spaces and Water Environment SPD
Stables, Arena's and Horse related Development SPD 2014
Fibre to the Premises SPD 2020
Village Design Statements are also informally adopted design guidance related to many rural settlements.
