Our Development Control team considers applications from property owners and developers who want to build new structures, make alterations to the fabric of existing buildings, change the use of land and buildings, carry out engineering operations or erect signs and advertising. They ensure that all development is within the approved policies of the Council, seek the views of neighbours and others who may be affected by proposals and take appropriate action against any unauthorised development.
Planning Applications can be viewed online since April 2001.
