Development Control
Online Form: Development Control
Most building work, engineering work and use of land requires planning permission, and the purpose of development control is to ensure that the development is carried out in accordance with local and national planning guidance.
The following links may be useful in guiding your development:
- Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) - for Planning Policy Guidance Notes
- Local Development Framework - for Hackney's planning policies
- Conservation Areas & Listed Buildings
This work also involves the survey and inspection of trees for inclusion in new Tree Preservation Orders, the consideration of proposals by owners to fell or prune trees covered by Orders, and where necessary, the provision of technical and professional advice to owners and developers on matters related to protected trees.
Planning Officers are available to offer advice and guidance if you are proposing to submit an application.
