Housing SPD

The Housing SPD (2020) was adopted on 20 April 2020. It provides detailed guidance on the interpretation of policies in the Eden Local Plan 2014-2032 that relate to housing. The Housing SPD assists applicants and decision makers in the practical application of local plan policy and is a material consideration in the determination of planning applications. The Housing SPD adds detail to policies in the Eden Local Plan, it does not create new policy nor allocate further sites for development.
