Planning
The planning service is divided into a number of specialist teams who work together to bring their expertise to individual projects and the service as a whole.
To access information regarding planning applications online, and to view property details by reference to a map, please see our constantly updated Public Access for Planning database. The database also allows you to monitor the progress of a current application, view associated documents and to submit comments about the scheme.
