Planning officers

We have North and South Area Teams, with three planning officers in each. The officers have a detailed knowledge of the areas where they work.  An assigned Area Planning Officer will deal with your application so you will always be able to talk to the same person.  If you would like to make an application for planning permission, or have any questions about planning, need information, advice or to discuss your ideas then please contact the team for your area. This service is free of charge.

Advice surgeries

The planning officers can also be contacted at their planning advice surgeries.

The structure of the Planning Department is shown on this organisational chart.
