Planning applications

The county council deals with planning applications relating to minerals and waste developments. It also deals with applications for county council development such as schools and libraries.

Derby City Council and the Peak District National Park deal with all planning applications including mineral and waste applications within their areas. District and borough councils deal with all other types of planning applications.

Details of current applications under consideration by the county council and the council's recent decisions are available on this website.

The council's regulatory - planning and control committee (opens in a new window) make decisions where there are planning policy objections or other unresolved planning objections.

Information on the way the council deals with planning applications and the standards it seek to acheive are set out on its 'Planning Development Control Charter' which can be accessed on the processing applications page.

We are responsible for ensuring that developments that have been approved are carried out in accordance with the requirements imposed on permissions and that regular monitoring visits are made to sites to check operations.

Where operations or developments are being carried out without permission then it may be necessary for us to take enforcement action to prevent or regulate the activities.

Please see the Monitoring and enforcement section for further details.
