planning in charnwood

Most new buildings or major changes to existing buildings in Charnwood or to the local environment need planning consent – known as planning permission. Without a planning system everyone could construct buildings or use land in any way they wanted, no matter what effect this would have on other people who live and work in their area.

Charnwood Borough Council is responsible for deciding whether a development in the Charnwood area – anything from an extension on a house to a new shopping centre – should go ahead.
