Planning Services (including Local Plan consultation)

Town and country planning is mainly concerned with finding the best use of land and controlling its development to meet the needs of all groups within our society. Consideration has to be given to housing needs, transport, shopping and leisure facilities, and industrial needs as well as to the protection of the countryside, historic buildings, archaeological features etc.
