Town and Country Planning is about the management of competing uses for land and buildings, and the making of places that are valued and have identity.
Activities within Planning Services at Craven District Council are split into the following areas: -
Development Control
Development Control primarily deals with planning applications and similar consents. Within these pages you can find information on viewing current and past planning applications, commenting on planning applications, making an application, and obtaining advice on the need for planning permission.
Planning Enforcement
Planning Enforcement investigate alleged cases of development that has been undertaken without the necessary permission, or not in accordance with the conditions of a permission. Where necessary legal action can be taken to require breaches of planning control to be rectified.
Planning Policy
The Planning Policy Service write the policies and guidance documents that set out the location and design of development within the area. The Planning Policy pages provide information on the existing Local Plan, the accompanying proposals maps, planning guidance for people wanting to submit planning applications, and the work the Council is currently doing on the new Local Development Plan.
Trees and Hedges
Advice on Tree Preservation Orders, works to trees within Conservation Areas, the removal of hedgerows, and High Hedge complaints.
Local Land Charges
Local Land Charges is the service which undertakes official searches for the conveyancing of land and properties, and maintains the Register of Charges.
The Yorkshire Dales National Park within Craven District.
The Yorkshire Dales National Park includes land that is within the boundary of Craven District Council. The National Park is responsible for Planning within its area and not Craven District Council. Local Land Charges and other services provided by Craven District Council still operate within the National Park.
