Planning

Local authority planning departments work in two ways:
To control the development of buildings and land in line with local and national policies.
To develop and maintain strategies for the use of buildings and land in their area.
Both these areas of work are likely to have an impact on businesses – particularly for new or expanding businesses.
For any planning matters - from building a new conservatory to developing a shopping mall - your local authority planning team is the main point of contact.
