Community Infrastructure Levy
If you are considering buying land for
development and/or submitting a planning application in the
District (other than for extensions to dwellings of less than 100
sqm), please be advised that the Council will be adopting a
Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) in Summer 2013. Once adopted,
this charge will apply to all relevant applications determined
following the date of adoption (including those successful on
appeal and those where a resolution to grant has been made but a
S106 agreement has yet to be finalised), even if they were
submitted in advance of this time. For further information, please
visit the CIL page of this
website.

Development Control within Bassetlaw offers a customer focused
service that reflects the needs of the applicant whilst fully
considering all other material planning considerations that may be

commitment is to openness and the best quality decisions that can
be made within an efficient, professional service.
We have a small group of experienced town
planners with an exceptional knowledge of the planning history of
the District, its towns, villages and countryside. A positive
approach to pre-application discussions
and information exchange offers advantages to those looking for
development opportunities, a new home, a simple house extension or
somewhere to invest in job creation. Our links with others in
the planning service provides a team approach to problem solving -
our corporate approach allows us to bring a full range of other
professional abilities to meetings or preliminary enquiries,
ensuring the delivery of a comprehensive and professional
service.
Our application and enforcement services are
designed to be accessible to all, to be positive wherever possible
and to be results oriented. We can help with anything from
the completion of your application forms
to the provision of leaflets on many
specialised issues.
Please contact the Development Control Team for development related
discussions.
Should you wish to make a complaint regarding
possible unauthorised development, please write to Planning
Enforcement, Bassetlaw District Council, Queens Buildings, Potter
