Planning applications - business
The Planning system plays an important role in modern society by helping to protect the environment in our towns and cities and in the countryside. Planning regulations have to cover many different situations and are quite detailed.
The general planning principles and the procedures for making a planning application are described in the Department of Community and Local Government (DCLG) booklet A guide for business . The Planning Portal also offers a wide range of services and guidance on the planning system.
