Development Control

Punjabi      Turkish    Bengali    Urdu    Kurdish    Gujerati    Hindi

Welcome to the Development Control home page. Development Control is the process, laid down in legislation, which regulates the development and use of land and buildings. Our dedicated staff deal with just over 2000 planning and related applications which are submitted to the Council each year. Whilst the Council encourages and facilitates appropriate development, recognising its significance in building and protecting a healthy economy and environment, the Council also has to carefully consider the potential impact of proposed development and protect the public interest from inappropriate development. 

Live planning interactive service

Our live planning interactive service is a free on-line internet service that enables you to access planning information the minute it is saved on to the computerised planning system. Our planning interactive service has been designed to be comprehensive and easy to use. Information and help options are provided for each page.
