Planning - development control
Summary of Service
Development Control is a process which regulates the development and use of land. It involves the consideration of planning applications and the monitoring of development as it takes place, ensuring that developments comply with planning permission, and taking enforcement action where breaches of planning control have occurred.
Details of Service
Wiltshire County Council is the Minerals and Waste Planning Authority for Wiltshire, and so has a statutory duty to deal with planning applications involving mineral extraction and management of waste. These are processed by the Development Control service, which is also responsible for processing planning applications for the County Council's own development relating to its own services.
The County Council's Development Control service processes planning applications for:
- mineral extraction (new quarries, extensions to quarries, plant and machinery in quarries, and other related developments)
- waste management (landfill sites, waste transfer stations, recycling operations, waste incinerators, sewage treatment works, waste-processing plants, composting sites, and other related developments)
- the County Council's own developments relating to its own services (new schools, mobile classrooms, major road schemes, children's homes)
Please note that Wiltshire County Council is not the Planning Authority for other types of planning applications such as housing, industrial, commercial or leisure developments. For information on such applications, please contact the appropriate District or Borough Council direct.
The Development Control service is responsible for ensuring that development approved by the County Council is carried out in accordance with the conditions and obligations of the planning permission and regular monitoring visits are made to sites to check operations. Any complaints that arise, or unauthorised activities, are investigated and followed up, with enforcement action taken as appropriate to achieve proper planning control.
