Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG. SPG are non statutory documents and may be prepared to expand upon policies or proposals contained in the LDP. The need to review existing SPG and prepare new SPG will be considered as part of the LDP preparation process. The Pre-Deposit stage will be a key time at which any new SPG needed will be identified. Relevant stakeholders will be consulted during the production of SPG. Where SPG will assist the understanding of the LDP it will be prepared and consulted on as an intrinsic part of the process of engagement as set out in this Delivery Agreement. For each SPG a report of consultation and engagement will be produced and made available with the approved guidance.
