Background policy evidence
We collect evidence through case studies and also use data gathered by other bodies to inform our planning policy making processes. Evidence is continually gathered in key areas with some documents updated regularly and others only when required.
The evidence documents are listed below under the key areas that need to be considered in planning policy making. The documents listed under each area will help you understand how policies have been influenced and shaped:
