Planning

The planning system regulates development in England and Wales. According to the Government’s own plain english guide to the planning system, planning ensures that the right development happens in the right place at the right time, benefitting communities and the economy. It plays a critical role in identifying what development is needed and where, what areas need to be protected or enhanced and in assessing whether proposed development is suitable
