Development Management
Development Management is the process that regulates
the development and use of land. This includes the construction of
new buildings, the extension of existing ones and the change of use
of buildings or land to another use.
The Development Management unit is responsible for the
determination and monitoring of planning and associated
applications submitted to the Council under the Planning
Acts.
Developments such as new houses,
industrial buildings and shops are important for sustaining the
economic success of the Borough, but it is also important that we
protect and improve the quality of the environment, not only in our
towns and villages, but also in our countryside.
Scarborough Borough Council has a
Planning and Development Committee that meet every three weeks
to make decisions on planning applications. This
Planning Committee is advised by the
Development Management Team, made up of professional
planners who carefully assess proposals against local and national
planning policies.
Every year the
Development Management Team handles about 1200-1300 planning
applications of various types, and investigates between 200 to 300
alleged breaches of planning control. Although the Planning
Committee decides the major applications the power to deal
with most minor applications has been given to Planning Managers
under the scheme of delegation.
For further information on
making or viewing planning applications please go to the
Planning Applications page or visit the
Planning Portal
