Building new homes can involve a number of stakeholders across different stakeholder groups such as:
-Local residents;
-Local authority staff; and
-Private developers

There is a large amount of guidance surrounding new development with various sections being more relevant to different groups of stakeholders than others.

We have therefore divided the guidance around new development into two broad groups; local people and developers.

-Local people

The housing strategies we have developed are useful documents containing information about the policies and guidelines regarding new housing provision across the district.  
The link below will take you to the housing research and strategies area of the website where all the housing strategies can be viewed.

-Developers

Other key guidance to new development can be seen in the planning section of this website which you can access by using the link below:
