The Council's Environment Committee approved the Supplementary Planning Guidance 'Garden Centres and Nurseries' on 14 March 2002 for adoption and publication.

The Guidance will be of particular interest to:

Owners and operators of garden centres and nurseries;
Parish Councils and amenity groups;
The Council, in support of its development control functions.

The document has three main objectives:

To assist the Council, as local planning authority, to deal with planning applications for nursery and garden centre developments;
To help nursery and garden centre operators and their agents, understand the basis of planning policies and other material planning considerations which will be taken into account in considering planning applications; and
To provide guidance on matters that may be included in planning conditions attached to planning permissions for nursery and garden centre developments.

As part of the preparation of the Guidelines, a consultation exercise was undertaken involving parish councils, local garden centres and the Rural Development Commission.If you have any queries about the Garden Centres and Nurseries Supplementary Planning Guidance, please contact:
