To help give more detailed guidance on policies or proposals in the adopted Local Plan, we have prepared Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs). 

SPDs do not contain new policy but support the policies in the adopted Plan for Stafford Borough 2011-2031 by setting out in more detail how the policy will be applied. 

The Adoption Statement (pdf 112kb) confirms that the Design SPD and the Shop Fronts and Advertisements SPD have been adopted.
