DEVELOPMENT CONTROL (DC) : Development control is the process by which authorities manage the
extent and nature of growth in local areas. Landowners or leaseholders wishing to develop are typically
required to apply to a local authority (depending on the proposal) for permission prior to commencing
any development work. Such development control
- regulating and managing what is built where, and when
- allows authorities to manage land across a large area. It allows authorities to balance competing needs
such as allocating land for farming, while accommodating the growth of cities and towns and to
• protect areas with particular values.
Development Control is the process that regulates the development and use of land. This includes the
construction of new buildings, the extension of existing ones and the change of use of buildings or land to
another Use. Development such as new houses, industrial buildings and shops is important for sustaining
the economic success of the district, but it is also important that we protect and improve the quallty of
the countryside.
