Development Control (Planning)
Welcome
Planning is about delivering what people want - jobs, houses,
better transport, lively city centres and sensitive care for our
built heritage and countryside. To deliver these objectives
in the most sustainable way, planning has to be positive and
dynamic.
Planning provides a positive opportunity to protect and enhance
our environment while balancing the need for development to promote
economic and social opportunities for all.
Development Control is responsible for the
processing of all types of
planning and related applications, taking
account of planning
policies and briefs, government
advice & guidance and the individual
merits of each application in order to control development in the
public interest. It also covers planning
enforcement, appeals,
major
development proposals and manages the Development Team
process.
