It was reported that Rotherham’s Local Plan provided the framework for determining planning applications. Supplementary Planning Documents provided additional detail and guidance to support policies in the Local Plan. Once adopted, they were a material consideration which could be taken into account when determining planning applications. Supplementary Planning Documents help improve planning applications, which in turn could speed up the planning process and produce better outcomes for the community.
