The Planning Portal web site includes an Interactive Guide to Planning and Building Regulations rules for householders.

 

The council has adopted a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) on Residential Amenity. This provides guidance for house builders, developers, architects and anyone wanting to extend their home. The document aims to ensure that all new residential development in the city is sensitively designed and of a high quality.

 

Householders are welcome to contact Planning to discuss their proposals.
