Residential Planning
Most people's contact with the Planning system will be when
they either make a planning application to extend their own house,
or their neighbour makes an application which may affect
them.
There is advice on how to make
applications and what things to take into account which you can see
by following the links to Development Control (see link)
If you are a neighbour then there is a
page which explains how the system operates and how to make
comments.
If you are going to build, then you
will also need approval under Building Regulations and you should
follow the link to Building Control (see link). If you are
building near a boundary you should take advice on the possible
effect of the Party Wall Act on your development.
