COVID-19 update - Planning and Building Control

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.
Site visit and site meeting options can still be submitted and paid for, but meetings and any such visits cannot take place during the current lockdown. Please therefore bear in mind if submitting such that we will need to wait for restrictions to ease before we are able to service such visits and meetings.

Validating 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 meetings live stream

Building Control continues to operate as a service. Please read the Service changes document before booking a site inspection.
