Evidence Base Information
Development plan document policies must be justified by evidence in order to be considered sound. A series of studies must therefore be carried out, and other data about the local area, its life, economy and environment collected to inform the policy making process.
The key pieces of evidence can be found in the pages below.
Economic Evidence
Environmental Evidence
Housing & Community Evidence
