The Development Management Section processes all applications for planning permission, listed building and advertisement consent, hazardous substances consent, developments by Government Departments and prior notifications under planning legislation. It also takes action on unauthorised development including, where appropriate, action under Enforcement Regulations.
The Section operates within the context of a scheme of delegated powers authorised by North Ayrshire Council. Where decisions are required on proposals which do not satisfy the criteria set down in the delegated scheme, the matters are referred to the Planning Committee.
All appropriate application forms for those seeking permission or consent for development are available from Development Management, Legal & Protective Services, Cunninghame House, Irvine.
