Background information
Each planning consideration we work on passes through the stages of our design process, where we research and answer specific questions to help us collect more information.

Do we understand how the data is created/produced?
-
Where will or should the data be used?
-
What other planning considerations does it interact with?
- Local plans - BNG is referenced a number of times in local plans. This consideration feeds into the process of creating a local plan as the 10% target is mandatory and so BNG policies should be worked into local plans.
