The Planning Policy department are responsible for producing long term planning/land use policies in St Edmundsbury. To understand the requirements of the borough for future planning, we need to:
- engage/consult with residents and statutory bodies;
- follow the guidelines of national policy;
- monitor;
- plan; and
- research.
We need to do this in order to deliver appropriate levels of homes, jobs and community or transport facilities, while protecting and enhancing the environment and character of the borough, in order to provide an acceptable and sustainable quality of life for local residents.
For details of all current and future planning consultations please see the Planning consultations page
