IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: COVID-19
Following the latest Government guidance our planning team are now working from home. We aim to continue to provide our usual high quality of service..
You are advised to use the Planning Portal to submit your applications, as any hard copies received into the Council Offices will not be processed daily, and will cause delays to your submission.
Please use Public Access (link above) to view planning applications or submit your comments on planning applications, as any hard copies sent may not be able to be dealt with immediately.
Please remember to add your email address and mobile number to any correspondence so that we can communicate with you more efficiently and avoid the need to send out information in the post.
If there needs to be a delay in the determination of applications, for instance because a site visit cannot be completed, we will notify applicants via their agent where appropriate.
More information can be found on the following link which provides answers to Frequently Asked Questions following COVID-19 outbreak

Coronavirus - operating as a hot food takeaway
To support communities through the Coronavirus outbreak the government is introducing legislation to allow the temporary change of use of a pub, restaurant or cafe to a hot-food take away without planning permission.
Those venues offering takeaway or delivery services must not include alcoholic beverages if their licence does not already permit it.
Businesses are required to tell us, as the local planning authority, when the new use begins and ends.
To notify us of your change of use, or for any further information or advice, please contact Planning Admin team.
