Supplementary Planning Documents

The Great Yarmouth Design Code Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) was adopted on 29 January 2024 and provides further detail and guidance to support existing design based-policies in the adopted Local Plan Part 1 Core Strategy and Local Plan Part 2, including policies A2 and CS9.

The SPD provides clear principles and standards for how development should be designed in the borough, in order to create visually pleasing neighbourhoods, enhance community pride and fostering a sense of place. As a code, it also signposts users to other sources of regulation, guidance, assessment tools and best practice.
