Town and Country Planning in Wales - Overall Planning Policy in Wales

Overall Planning Policy in Wales

The context for planning policy in Wales is contained within two main documents, Planning Policy Wales, which provides guidance on the preparation and content of development plans and advice on development control decisions and appeals; and Minerals Planning Policy Wales, which gives guidance for the extraction of all minerals and other substances in, on or under land. Taken together with supporting documents, these cover the same broad areas as Planning Policy Statements in England.

They are supplemented by a series of topic-based Technical Advice Notes (TANs) and Minerals Technical Advice Notes (MTANs). Changes or updates to planning policy are issued in Ministerial Interim Planning Policy Statements (MIPPs). Circular letters provide advice and guidance on specific topics.
