Latest Consultation

A consultation on the Draft Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area Avoidance and Mitigation Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) and supporting documents took place between 12 September and 24 October 2011. The consultation is now closed. The Council is considering all responses in drafting the final version of the SPD which is due to be adopted early in 2012. This is likely to result in an increase in SPA developer contributions.

The Draft SPD provides guidance to the construction industry, environmental interest groups, the council and the public on how the impacts of new residential developments on the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area should be avoided and mitigated. This document also provides information on the necessary planning obligations needed to ensure that new development does not adversely affect the SPA. On adoption it will replace part of the Special Protection Area Technical Background Document (June 2007) and Chapter 11 and Appendix C of the Limiting the Impact of Development SPD (July 2007).

All documents relating to previous consultations on the SPD can be viewed in the SPA library.

The council's current strategy for avoiding and mitigating the impact of development upon the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area is contained in the:

• Technical Background Document; and
• Section 11 and Appendix C of the Limiting the Impact of Development SPD.
