Wealden’s Policies and Plans

The Council’s strategies set out our overall aims for the medium to long term, while our policies state the principles and rules we use to address and make decisions on particular issues.  We have different types of plan, some are strategic in themselves, many are action plans associated with our strategies and others relate to our planning policy and development control functions.
