Development Control

More commonly referred to as 'Planning', Development Control is responsible for the determination and monitoring of planning applications, and other associated applications (listed building consent, advertisement consent etc) submitted to the Council under the Planning Acts.

Most building work, engineering work and use of land requires planning permission, and the purpose of development control is to ensure that the development is carried out in accordance with local and national planning guidance.

The section is also responsible for the administration and management of matters relating to trees covered by Tree Preservation Orders and trees in Conservation Areas.

This work involves the survey and inspection of trees for inclusion in new Tree Preservation Orders, the consideration of proposals by owners to fell or prune trees covered by Orders, and where necessary, the provision of technical and professional advice to owners and developers on matters related to protected trees.

Planning Support staff are available to offer advice and guidance if you are proposing to submit an application.
