How is planning organised in the South Hams?
The Planning & Building Control Service is responsible for the implementation of the Council’s planning policies through joint working of the Building Control, Coast and Countryside, Conservation and Development Control/Enforcement services. The Forward Planning Service is responsible for policy making and in particular the preparation of the Local Plan/Local Development Framework. The Development Control team is the key section when considering planning applications, but all four teams play their part in the process.
