Development management
Development management deals with individual development proposals to ensure they meet local, regional and national planning polices and guidelines.
Each proposal is assessed on its own merits, taking into account:
- policy
- need
- local circumstances
- public opinion
Development management regulates development that falls within the scope of planning legislation. This can range from ground works, felling of trees, the erection of advertisements through to large-scale developments. However. some minor developments don't need planning consent.
