Planning

We are fortunate that the Borough is such a pleasant place in which to live and work. Making sure that continues is a careful balance between sensible development to meet our changing and diverse needs as residents and conserving the area's heritage and character.

Effective planning – for now and for the future – is a key part of this. In this section of the website, you can find out more about our work in this area and our services to help you.
