Doncaster Council Planning Services

The planning system helps ensure that development takes place in a way that is economically, socially and environmentally sustainable. It also has a role to play in helping to cut carbon emissions, protect and enhance the natural and historical environment and deliver energy security.

We are responsible for town planning functions; developing planning policies, allocating sites for future development and growth and assessing most applications for planning permission. We also work with Town and Parish Councils in developing their own Neighbourhood Plans.
