What is planning permission?

Planning permission is a legal document, issued by the Council, which allows specific development at a particular site, for example building works or a change of use.
 
The planning permission is "attached" to the land and can normally be implemented by anyone, not necessarily the person who has applied for the permission in the first place.
 
The Council tries to ensure that in dealing with applications for planning permission, its planning policies are implemented and the views of local communities are heard.
