Planning applications may mostly require payment of a fee - Planning Application Fees
Investigating breaches of planning control and initiating, if appropriate, enforcement action - Planning Enforcement
Preparing statements and evidence for planning appeals and appearing as expert witnesses at public inquiries - Planning Application Appeals
Giving general advice to the public on development control matters and assisting in the preparation of published guidance material.
