Development Control
Bassetlaw District Council's Development Control
Unit deal with Planning Applications, Planning Appeals and
Enforcement.
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
raised by consultees and other interested parties. Our
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 where ever
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.
