Supplementary Guidance (SG) offers more detailed guidance and expands upon existing
policies and proposals contained in the Local Development Plan (LDP). Statutory
SG is part of the development plan, giving it the same weight in decision making
as the LDP. It is subject to consultation and must be approved by Scottish Ministers
prior to adoption.
There are 17 SGs identified in the LDP, all of which seek to provide more detailed
guidance on how particular LDP policies should be applied in practice.
