The following list of documents and other sources of data provide the evidence to justify the Local Development Framework, including the Core Strategy DPD.
The list is set out in alpha-numerical order (according to the title of the document etc.) and includes a variety of evidence studies, assessments, appraisals, data-sources and other supporting documents. Many of the sources of evidence provided are external to the Council and therefore outside of the Council's control; if you are unable to access a document because the link no longer works please contact the Planning Policy Team and we will endeavour to provide a new link or make the evidence available to you through some other means. Documents may be referred to by the evidence document number given in brackets at the end of their title.
