Transport and Streets SPD

Planning Duty Officer telephone service

If you have a live planning application, you can use the planning application search to check its progress. The search is updated regularly and key milestones and target dates can be found under 'Proposal Details'.

If your application is still within the statutory determination period, or within an agreed extension of time, you should not expect a progress update at this stage.

If you need to contact your planning officer, email them directly. You can find their contact details in:

  • your planning application acknowledgement letter
  • emails or letters about your application

For information about planning applications, planning guidance, planning enforcement and other planning services, visit the planning and building control page.

For planning advice for your business or property, use our pre-application service.

The Council adopted the Transport and Streets SPD on 20 April 2016. The Transport and Streets SPD provides more detailed guidance and advice on the adopted Local Plan Policies CT1 (Improving Alternatives to Car Use), CR1 (Street Network), CR3 (Street and Outdoor Life), CR4 (Streetscape) and CR7 (Servicing).

It is designed to help applicants make successful planning applications and for residents to understand the various issues that the Council will consider in assessing planning applications that have implications for the borough's streets and transport networks. Applicants should follow the guidance in the Transport and Streets SPD when submitting their planning application alongside meeting the requirements of the Consolidated Local Plan in particular Chapters 32 (Better Travel Choices) and 33 (An Engaging Public Realm). Depending on the case there may be other planning policies that also apply.
