4D Planning believe in keeping things simple. We aim to ease and simplify the planning process which can at times be complicated and frustrating. As a result, we have decided to engage our clients in the process, by helping you understand the basics of the planning process, and its key features. We have listed and answered a few of the common questions that we often receive from the public using our free consultation service.
What is a development?
“Development” is the carrying out of building, engineering, mining or other operations in, on, over or under land, or the making of any material change in the use of any buildings or other land (Section 55 of the TCPA Act 1990).
