News

Important - 21st November 2008 - due to maintenance of the system, you will not be able to see planning applications using PublicAccess.

The scanning and publishing of our current planning applications onto the web is contracted to a private company. Unfortunatly they are currently experiencing problems with their turnaround times and, as a result, documents are not being published onto the web within the agreed 3 working days. We are in daily contact with the company who are working hard to improve their turnaround times.

November - New Residential Parking Standards adopted

From 1 October 2008, two important changes come into effect:

New application forms for tree works
New rules for Permitted Development (GPDO)

The Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) has been published for advice if you need a flood risk assessment as part of your planning application.
