APPROVED SPG POLICIES
These are Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) documents the council has produced to help our customers produce developments to accord with our best practice and policy guidance.
DEVELOPER CONTRIBUTION POLICIES
West Lothian Council has put in place supplementary planning guidance (SPG) to support the implementation of the adopted West Lothian Local Plan. The SPG provide guidance on developer contribution requirements and/or identify principles that will be adopted by the council in working up strategies for the provision of new infrastructure and/or facilities. SPG will be a material consideration in the determination of planning applications.
Please note that the councils approved developer contribution policies listed below are listed by SUBJECT area first (i.e. EDUCATION and then by year of approval). The actual guidance can be accessed by clicking links to the appropriate text.
