Useful documents relating to the Local Plan and Local Development Framework can be found here, including the core strategy, annual monitoring report, national and local guidance and sustainability appraisals.
Relevant details on conservation areas, tree and hedgerow management, open space development and listed buildings can be found from this page, as well as the corresponding application forms and guidance notes.
