Planning policy

Planning policy shapes the places where people live and work within North Somerset.

Good planning ensures we get the right development, in the right place and at the right time making a positive difference to your lives.

It helps to deliver homes, jobs and better opportunities for all whilst protecting and enhancing the natural and historic
environment around us.

Sustainable development is the core principle underpinning planning which at its heart has the simple idea of ensuring a better quality of life for everyone now and in the future.

For further information about planning policy issues please contact our Planning Policy Team.

However, if you require information about a particular planning application or whether planning permission is required please visit our Development Control section or contact Development Control on 01275 888 811.
