Supplementary Planning Document: Shop Front Design and Advertisements Consultation Statement: Introduction 1. Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs) provide guidance on local planning matters. The Shop Front Design and Advertisements SPD aims to provide advice and guidance on improving the design and general appearance of new shop frontages and advertisements across the Borough. The SPD also provides greater detail on policies within the adopted Core Strategy, those emerging policies of the Environment and Regeneration Development Plan Document (DPD) and saved local plan policies that aim to enhance the quality of our retail environments. 2. In accordance with the relevant regulations, the SPD has been subject to public consultation and this consultation Statement sets out how this was undertaken, the comments that were received and how these have been incorporated into the document as appropriate. Consultation Period 3. Consultation on the Shop Front Design and Advertisements SPD was undertaken from 30 July to 24 September 2012 alongside the consultation on Council’s ‘Preferred Options’ draft of the Regeneration and Environment Local Development Document (LDD) 4. The SPD was prepared and consulted on in accordance with regulations 16, 17 and 18 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Development) (England) Regulations (2004), as amended by the Town and Country Planning (Local Development) (England) (Amendment) Regulations (2008). In accordance with Regulation 17, the following steps were undertaken: • Copies of the SPD and a statement setting out how comments could be made (the ‘SPD matters‘) were made available during normal office hours at the Council’s Planning Office at: Gloucester House 72 Church Road Stockton on Tees TS18 1TW • Copies of the SPD and the Statement of SPD matters were also made available at all libraries within the Borough. • Copies of the SPD, the Statement of SPD matters and details of physical locations where the documents were available to view were also made available on the Council’s website. • A statutory notice was placed in the Herald and Post newspaper on 26th July 2012 (See Appendix 1) 5. In addition, letters were sent to organisations and individuals included on the Council’s consultation database informing them of the consultation period, the locations where the documents were available to view and the procedure for making comments. This included both specific and general bodies included in Regulation 17(3). A list of the organisations consulted is included at Appendix 2. 6. A Habitat Regulations Assessment (HRA) Screening Report was prepared for the SPD and formed part of the consultation period of the SPD, as outlined within paragraphs 3 and 4 above.
