Our Services

We aim to deliver an efficient and effective service for the provision of advice and information. A principal duty is the processing of planning and related applications and appeals, as well as securing compliance with planning legislation. We aim to do this in a fair, open and inclusive manner whilst being sensitive to the varying needs and aspirations of our different customer groups.

The key elements of our service are:-

  • Provision of information and access to planning records;
  • Free pre-application advice on building and other planning projects;
  • Deciding planning and other applications following consultation with the community and specialists;
  • Public speaking at Development Control Committee;
  • Supporting the Council’s decision when an appeal is lodged;
  • Investigating and resolving possible breaches of planning control.
