Planning plays a vital role in delivering high quality development across the city. A key part of this is the new local plan which will influence public and private sector investment and development proposals over the next 15 years. This plan aims to steer developers to the most sustainable locations. Planning is critical in shaping the built and natural environment and guiding investment decisions.
A guide has been produced which draws together all the key components of the planning department in Hull and should prove a crucial tool to the community in enhancing their understanding of the planning process.
