Most development must have planning permission before new building starts or before a new use of land or building occurs. We only deal with planning applications for:
- waste (such as landfill sites or waste water treatment works)
- minerals (such as chalk, gravel and sand extraction or mining)
- our own development (such as schools or roads).
For all other types of development, contact your local district or borough council:
