Consultation on new Supplementary Planning Documents
The Council is preparing 5 new Supplementary Planning Documents to supplement adopted planning policies in the Wirral Local Plan. The documents being produced are:
- Residential Development Supplementary Planning Document (SPD)
- Householder Development Supplementary Planning Document (SPD)
- Recreation Management and Green Infrastructure Supplementary Planning Document (SPD)
- Biodiversity and Nature Recovery Supplementary Planning Document (SPD)
- Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) Supplementary Planning Document (SPD)
The development of these SPDs require a statutory public consultation to enable residents and stakeholders to have their say in their development. The consultation will be a two-phase process; Phase 1 is on the scope of each SPD. Following that the SPDs will be developed using the feedback received and Phase 2 consultation on the content of each SPD will be carried out. The SPD documents and consultation questions can be accessed on the Council's consultation portal https://haveyoursay.wirral.gov.uk/
Phase 1 of the consultation on the scope of the SPDs is open for contributions from 12 January to 9 February 2026.
