Supplementary Planning Guidance

This page summarises and provides links to all of the Supplementary Planning Guidance that have been prepared by Oadby and Wigston Borough Council to assist in the submission of planning applications.

Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) builds upon the policies in the Local Plan, and provides more detailed advice on particular topics or areas. Under the Planning and Compulsary Purchase Act 2004, any new guidance of this type will be known as Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs). Our proposals for producing Supplementary Planning Documents are set out in the Local Development Scheme.
