Planning policy provides the framework that will guide and control the development of land and buildings in the area and sets out proposals as to how it should develop in the future. The policies are then used to assess planning applications and to decide what development is appropriate.

Government derived regulations ensure the health, safety, welfare and convenience of all people (including the disabled) in or about buildings. This control extends to both private and public buildings, with plan checking and site inspection being undertaken by Building Control Surveyors.
