Article: Development Management Online interactions for this service Pay for this service Article Body Development Management is a positive, proactive approach to shaping, considering, determining and delivering development proposals. It involves working closely with other council service areas, those proposing developments and other interested parties. It is a more total approach to development with emphasis on pre-application discussion and post decision monitoring as well as planning application processing. Developers and applicants are encouraged to engage in pre-planning application discussions at the earliest possible opportunity, particularly on major developments. The Development Management webpages will help you determine if planning permission is required for a development or a change of use, will assist you in submitting your planning application and provide information about the planning process.
