Summary

Planning Policy Guidance 5 (PPG5) outlines the general nature and role of Simplified Planning Zones (SPZs), explaining their benefits in the promotion of particular areas, how SPZ schemes can be created and the nature of their relationship to development plans.

SPZs achieve their effect by granting planning permission for specified types of development. Conforming schemes can go ahead without a separate planning application being made, thus providing speed and certainty for all parties.
