Development control
Summary
Development
Control is carried out within the Development & Assets Division which works closely with Building Control to ensure that
applications are processed in a coordinated way.
The Planning System regulates development and the use of land in the public interest. It protects and enhances the environment and preserves the built and natural heritage, conserves the rural landscape and maintains the separate identities of settlements. The system also reconciles the interests of conservation and development which is necessary to provide homes, investments and jobs through the determination and monitoring of planning applications and other associated applications submitted to the Authority.

Pre-application advice
Pre-application advice is a very important part of the way every development should be managed. For example, it does not matter whether we are talking about a small scale home development or a big commercial scheme for new businesses or shops.
From the developer's point of view, it means key and detailed advice from us can be built into any scheme before it is put forward. We can flag up any issues early on and work to resolve them. That can save the disappointment of having your application refused because of a problem that could have been spotted and dealt with right at the start of the process.
Our pre-application advice can:
- Help achieve high quality development;
- Avoid expensive mistakes being made at the application stage;
- Speed up the processing of the application;
- Make sure those groups or individuals you have to consult by law are engaged as early as possible;
- Identify those schemes which are unlikely to win support.
