Locally specific requirements

Tranquillity

Where a local authority has mapped tranquillity, for example Staffordshire County Council, and has developed specific policies or a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) on this relevant to new development, it would be possible to add a tranquillity question to a locally tailored version of the Checklist.

Noise and light intrusion

Similarly, if a local authority has specific policies or SPD relating to minimising noise and light intrusion, especially in more rural areas, then it would be possible to make this part of a locally tailored version of the Checklist
