The human version (we wrote this, not the council)
This section explains how the document is organised. Policies sit in Chapters 2 to 7 with two-letter prefixes such as DS or HO, while site proposals in Chapter 8 have their own references. Policies are colour coded: strategic in purple, non-strategic in blue and site proposals in orange. A vision and strategic objectives guide the plan, and many policies include Development Management Considerations that give applicants extra guidance. A glossary and an accompanying Policies Map complete the document.

1.5.2 The SWLP contains three types of polices: strategic, non-strategic and site
proposals. To ease reading of the SWLP , strategic policies have a purple background,
non-strategic policies have a blue background and site proposals have an orange
background. The SWLP includes a vision setting out what it wants South Warwickshire
to be like in 2050. The vision is accompanied by strategic objectives (which have a red
background) and the policies themselves are the means to achieving these goals. It is
through the implementation of the various policies that the vision and objectives of the
SWLP will be achieved, and the relevant objectives are referenced at the start of each
section of the SWLP . Key designations are shown on the Key Diagram (Figure 12 in
Chapter 2) and designations and policies are shown spatially on the accompanying
Policies Map.
1.5.3 Many policies are accompanied by Development Management Considerations.
These provide applicants with helpful guidance as well as set out further information as
to how the Local Planning Authority will apply and interpret the policy. Development
Management Considerations have a green background. A Glossary explaining various
terms and acronyms is attached at Appendix 1, with a consolidated list of the
