Planning applications - (Development Control)
To many people "planning" means the control of development through the planning applications system.
Development control involves the controlling of building and engineering operations or changes in the use of land and buildings.
This control operates within a set of rules supplied by the government but also relies heavily upon precedence and case law established since 1947 when the modern day system commenced.
Planning permission is therefore not always required and there are circumstances where the works are either not development requiring planning permission or are permitted development.
The rules that govern this can be complex and need to be the subject of specific enquiries.
The council has set out to provide an efficient development control service but is also concerned that the outcomes of the service are of the right quality. It is important that the control of development contributes to the council's overall objectives and the quality of life for its residents and business community.
The development control service provides the following services:-
- Advice on the need for permission
- Advice and pre-application discussions on development proposals
- Preservation of important trees
- Declaration of conservation areas
- Support for and monitoring of listed buildings
- Control of advertisements
- Enforcement of breaches of development control.
