Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs) provide further details, guidance and principles for which development is expected to follow. These Supplementary Plans are material considerations when processing planning applications and development proposals in the city. This means that they have to be considered when making a planning decision.
COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE LEVY AND REVISED DRAFT PLANNING OBLIGATIONS SPD
The City Council is currently working towards the introduction of the Community Infrastructure Levy and a revised Planning Obligations Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) to replace the current approach to developer contributions as set out in the Planning Obligations SPG.

NEW PLANNING OBLIGATIONS SPD
Southampton City Council has produced an initial consultation draft Planning Obligations SPD, which can be found under the downloadable documents below. Consultation on the draft document closed on 6 February 2012. A further consultation exercise is likely to commence in September 2012. This document has been revised to reflect the proposals for the introduction of the Community Infrastructure Levy and once adopted, this SPD would be applied to new development proposals in addition to the CIL.
Details of the Community Infrastructure Levy can be found here.
