Planning

Planning shapes the places where people live and work. Good planning ensures that we get the right development, in the right place and at the right time. The County Council plays a fundamental role in ensuring that the future development needs of the county can be accommodated whilst ensuring that development takes place in economically, socially and environmentally sustainable ways.
