SAMDev Plan

The SAMDev Plan was adopted by the council on 17 December 2015. It provides detailed ‘development management’ and ‘settlement’ policies to guide future development and identifies specific locations for development.

The SAMDev Plan is accompanied by a policies map which illustrates information such as development boundaries and site allocations. This map is available as a series of documents or in an interactive format.

Production of the document was informed by a detailed evidence base (including sustainability appraisal and habitats regulations assessment), several stages of consultation, and examination by an inspector appointed by government.
