How to access and study the documents

The documents are all in PDF format. You can choose to download them, print them or view them online. Please note that all documents are very large. You may wish to avoid downloading them, if on a mobile device. You will save resources, and may find it easier, to read them on-screen rather than printing them.

We have worked hard to make these documents as accessible as possible, but some issues may still remain. If you would like to request an alternative copy of any document, or part of a document, please email planning_policy@bathnes.gov.uk 

There are notes on how we have formatted and displayed the changes at the front of each volume.
