We want to achieve a balance between the need to encourage
sustainable development whilst at the same time preserving and
enhancing the quality of our attractive countryside, historic
buildings and wildlife areas.
We provide a number of services dedicated to environmental
protection, including waste collection and disposal and the
conservation of our built and natural environment.
We aim to ensure that we promote and deliver high quality
development that provides well designed places to live and work
with the services and facilities that people need. Our
environmental and planning services work to safeguard our
environment from the threats of poor air quality, noise, heavy
traffic, and inappropriate development, as well as providing a
co-ordinated framework for individual development decisions to
create new homes and employment.
You will find lots of useful information on these pages,
including advice on planning applications, food safety and consumer
issues as well as animal welfare and pest control.
