Our 'evidence base' is a collection of technical documents, studies and research that underpins preparation of our Local Plan.
A robust evidence base is one of the key tests of soundness of development plan documents during the examination process, the test being that planning policies and proposals should be justified, up to date and reliable.
The evidence base is a living archive and is updated to take account of newly released relevant information.
Below are links to the evidence base work that is currently being undertaken or has already been completed.
