A suite of topic based Supplementary Guidance has been prepared to sit alongside the City Development Plan.

Supplementary Guidance (SG) explains, in detail, how the City Development Plan's policies are to be implemented and are used in the determination of planning applications.

Each policy in the City Development Plan has corresponding Supplementary Guidance. City Development Plan Policy 2: Sustainable Spatial Strategy is/will be accompanied by area specific Strategic or Local Development Frameworks for 9 areas of the City.

For more information on polices and proposals please see here.

Spatial Supplementary Guidance Consultation and Status

The Glasgow City Development Plan identifies priority areas where a strategic approach is needed to co-ordinate development activity, direct investment and address emerging opportunities. SG2 will therefore contain a suite of documents setting out spatial Supplementary Guidance for these areas in the form of Strategic Development Frameworks (SDFs) and Local Development Frameworks (LDFs).

Six pieces of spatial SG have been adopted by the council (see below) - 5 Strategic Development Frameworks (SDFs) and 1 Local Development Framework (LDF).

Consultation on a further LDF (Drumchapel) has recently finished.

One SDF (Greater Easterhouse) and two LDFs (Drumchapel and Pollok) remain to be adopted.
