The SPD Consultation Draft provides guidance to the construction industry, environmental interest groups, the Council and the public on how the impacts of new residential developments on the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area should be avoided and mitigated. This document also provides information on the necessary planning obligations needed to ensure that new development does not adversely affect the SPA. On adoption it will replace part of the Special Protection Area Technical Background Document (June 2007) and Chapter 11 and Appendix C of the Limiting the Impact of Development SPD (July 2007). (Part of the Thames Basin Heaths SPA Technical Background Document to the Core Strategy (June 2007) is an Appropriate Assessment of the Core Strategy DPD. This remains current).
This SPD Consultation Draft has been prepared in order to define what the Council considers to be the relevant best practice standards, as this provides a flexible way of ensuring standards and requirements are up-to-date. It provides interpretation of policies within the Core Strategy and the South East Plan and is consistent with national and regional policy. The SPD Consultation Draft is designed to help developers ensure that their proposals are in line with Core Strategy Policy CS14 and South East Plan Policy NRM6.
