The Planning Services Section is located within the Council's Planning and Development Services Department. The section is essentially responsible for the promotion and control of development and the conservation and enhancement of the environment. The work of the planning service is split into a number of specialist teams. These teams comprise:
Development Control and Enforcement - responsible for the processing of planning applications, applications for listed building consent and conservation area consent. Decisions are made after taking account of the Councils planning policies and development briefs, government guidance and the individual merits of each scheme.
