Cinderhill Development Brief

Development briefs are an established means within the planning system for providing detailed guidance on how specific sites should be brought forward for development.

The Adopted Local Plan includes a number of policies in relation to Cinderhill, which set out the broad requirements for any proposals for the development of the site.

The preparation of a development brief for the Cinderhill site is set out as a specific requirement in the adopted Local Plan. The development brief:-

• enables the Borough Council to set out in more detail the requirements for the future use and development of the site
• adds weight to the policies of the adopted Local Plan in the consideration of planning applications relating to the site
• provides an opportunity for the public to comment on and influence how the site should be brought for development
• gives greater certainty to the Borough Council, the developer and the local community as to the form and scale of development of the site, prior to any planning applications being determined.
