Land use - proposals
The local authority decides on the use to which local land can be put in accordance with their economic, planning and environmental strategies. Any proposals for change in use of land have to be approved by the local planning department
Berwick-upon-Tweed Borough Council is the statutory authority for the determination of all applications for planning permission. Not all development requires planning permission, and the Council is able to provide advice in this regard. Planning permission will normally be required when the proposed use of the land or building is different from the existing approved use. The definition of Land Use classes can be found on the website of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister.
