    Supplementary Planning Documents provide additional guidance to complex planning matters. Although Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs) do not have the same status as the Planning Strategy or Development Management Plan, they are still material considerations in the determination of planning applications.

    Other guidance considered in the determination of planning applications are the East Sussex County Council parking standards guidance and the High Weald AONB Management Plan.

    Supplementary Planning Guidance

    Supplementary Planning Guidance Notes (SPGs) were prepared under the old Local Plan system, they are still adopted and used in the determination of planning applications. The following SPGs were adopted as interim guidance by Council on 28 July 2004, and give guidance on the following:

    • SPG 5: The Provision of Childrens Play space in Housing Developments   
    • SPG 7: Development Contributions 

    Our Local Development Scheme provides our timetable for work to be undertaken.

    Other Guidance

    • The High Weald AONB Management Plan 2019-2024 was prepared by the High Weald Joint Advisory Committee which includes representatives of all 15 local authorities with land in the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and Government bodies responsible for protected landscapes in England.  The Plan for 2019-2024 was adopted by Hastings Borough Council on 04 February 2019.

    The Management Plan sets out the long term objectives for conserving this nationally important landscape and the local authorities' ambitions for how the High Weald will be looked after for the next 5 years.
