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 Communities and Local Government booklet Planning Permission - A guide to Business.
The Planning Portal (Please note: This is an external website) also offers a wide range of services and guidance on the planning system.
Parliament has given the main responsibility for planning to the Local Planning Authorities. If you do have any queries about a particular case, the first thing to do is to contact us using the details at the top of the page.
