What is a planning brief?

A planning brief forms a stepping stone between the provisions of the Unitary Development Plan (UDP) and the requirements of a planning application. The process of preparing and implementing a planning brief provides a framework for collecting information about a site, and investigating and evaluating different interests in it.

Planning briefs can perform a number of functions such as promoting a site for development, interpreting and supplementing development plan policies, or addressing a particular site constraint or opportunity.
