Planning exists to control new development so that it takes place in accordance with the development plan and other land use based polices of the Council and government. Development includes both building work and changes of use. Planning applications are made to the Council for all sorts of development from house extensions to new business parks.
The current adopted Development Plan for Denbighshire is the
Unitary
Development Plan (UDP) which was adopted 3rd July 2002. The Council has now
started the preparation of a new
Local Development Plan (LDP) which will replace the existing policies and
proposals in the UDP.
