How to use this document<br />
The introductory chapter sets out the purpose of this document, provides an overview of the<br />
planning system and includes a section on the context for planning in <strong>Wales</strong>. This is followed<br />
by two chapters (2 and 3 - formerly Chapters 3 and 4) which describe the planning system<br />
in <strong>Wales</strong> and its principal procedures. Chapter 4 (formerly Chapter 2) sets out the main policy<br />
objectives and principles which underpin the remaining chapters (5-13) which deal with<br />
particular subjects.<br />
Each of the subject chapters begins with a statement of the Welsh Assembly Government’s<br />
objectives for that subject. These chapters also contain sections on how the subject should be<br />
treated in development plans and for development control purposes.<br />
At the end of each of Chapters 2 - 13 there is a guide to the application of national<br />
planning policy statements in Local Development Plans, which have been adapted from<br />
(and replace) the <strong>Planning</strong> <strong>Policy</strong> <strong>Wales</strong> Companion Guide (2006). These sections are reassembled<br />
under the different types of policy headings in Annex 2 at the end of the document (as they were in<br />
Part 2 of the Companion Guide), as a cross-check for planning officers to ensure that they have taken<br />
account of all the relevant policy statements in PPW in drafting their local development plans.<br />
Reference documents and explanatory notes are indicated in the text using superscript<br />
numbers. The references and notes are available as bookmarks on the page on which they appear<br />
and are listed at the end of each chapter (including web links). These documents and notes provide<br />
information that should be read in conjunction with PPW.<br />
Cross-references are used to indicate where in this document further or related guidance is<br />
set out.<br />
This edition of PPW is published in electronic form only. This will also be the case for<br />
subsequent editions. As is currently the case, proposed changes will be consulted upon in the<br />
form of Draft Ministerial Interim <strong>Planning</strong> <strong>Policy</strong> Statements, but the agreed changes will then be<br />
incorporated directly into PPW in a fully integrated way and a complete new edition published.<br />
