Planning

In Torbay we take a holistic approach to Planning. Our policies have been written to enable us to guide development and make decisions regarding applications. We are keen to promote sustainable development of high quality design in the appropriate settings. Our integrated team is responsible for all aspects of planning and provides a range of services which you may need to consider in making an application for development.

In addition to considering planning applications we also provide advice on design, historic environment, sustainability and transportation infrastructure. Our integrated team enables us to provide a 1 stop shop for Planning and Building Control so when we give you pre-application advice we use our combined expertise to give you a single response incorporating all of this.
