Description |
|---|---|
| Welwyn Hatfield District Plan | The Welwyn Hatfield District Plan was adopted by Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council in April 2005. The majority of the policies were saved in April 2008. The New Local Plan will replace the District Plan saved polices. |
| Hertfordshire Waste Local Plan |
The Hertfordshire Waste Core Strategy and Development Management Policies Document was adopted on 5 November 2012 and the Waste Site Allocations Document was adopted on 15th July 2014. Together these documents form the Waste Local Plan for Hertfordshire that will be used to make decisions on waste planning applications. |
| Hertfordshire Minerals Local Plan | The Hertfordshire Minerals Local Plan 2002-2016 was adopted by Hertfordshire County Council on 27 March 2007. |
| Planning Guidance |
Planning Guidance supports and expands on policies within the District Plan. These documents set out the council's position on a range of key topics and are a material consideration when determining planning applications. |
| Interim Car Parking and Garage Policy (Aug 14) |
Government guidance no longer requires councils to set maximum car parking standards. Evidence indicates that such standards no longer meet current patterns and complexities of modern car ownership. The council has therefore agreed to treat its existing car parking standards, set out in the Parking Standards Supplementary Planning Guidance, as guidelines rather than maximums. |
