Supplementary planning documents

These provide detailed guidance on particular issues and policies such as:

The percentage of dwellings not in permanent residential use
Annual Monitoring Reports http://www.lakedistrict.gov.uk/planning/planningpolicies/annualmonitoringldf
Strategic Housing Market Area Assessments - these can be viewed on the individual housing authority websites.

The revised National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) was published in July 2018. The NPPF must be taken into account in preparing the development plan, and is a material consideration in planning decisions. Consequential amendments have been made to the Supplementary Planning Document on Housing to ensure our approach is consistent with national policy.
