Planning permission

We regularly need to make improvements to our buildings and sites. Most development work requires planning permission, including new buildings, extensions, other material changes and some demolitions.


This guidance attached to this page explains how you should go about making a planning application.

This note relates only to planning applications within Derbyshire outside the Peak District National Park. All development within the Peak Park is dealt with by the Peak Park Planning Authority.

Separate consents, for example, listed building or conservation area consent, may also be required in some cases.
