This is the Development Management and Allocations DPD now known as Local Plan Part 2. This will incorporate both detailed development management style policies and will also allocate (non-strategic) sites to meet the objectively assessed development needs including retail, housing, employment, community, gypsy and traveller, leisure and transport.
