COVID-19 update - Planning and Building Control services

Due to the impact of the coronavirus our services are experiencing some delays with turnaround times.

Pre-application advice service: All 30 minute pre-booked appointments and meetings (face to face in the office) will now be changed to telephone appointments.
Update – 25 June 2020: site visit and site meeting options are now available to book where considered necessary, but all parties must adhere to social distancing and meetings can only take place outside until further notice.

Validating planning applications: Planning and Building Control applications may experience some delays. Please submit applications online or by email as the processing of paper applications will be delayed.

Development Control Committee meetings are now being held virtually: see Council meeting live stream

Building Control update May 2020: we may have to offer a reduced level of service. Please bear this in mind when trying to contact us.
