Planning
Wiltshire Council regulates and guides development in Wiltshire, balancing the protection of the county's environment and heritage with the needs of residents, businesses and visitors. We approve or refuse planning applications for development, and make sure that planning controls are implemented through enforcement. Spatial planning officers develop planning and design policies through work with local communities, and ensure these policies are upheld.
The council's Building control section ensures that buildings comply with Building Regulations and that demolitions and dangerous structures are dealt with safely. We also have conservation officers who are responsible for matters relating to listed buildings and conservation areas and preserving our built heritage.
