The Planning System


The planning process has been mapped to help you understand how the system is meant to work, how it operates in practice and the scope for businesses to influence the outcome of the planning application and plan making process

Key actions by SECBE and others to improve the practical implementation of the planning system: 

     South East Centre for the Built Environment (SECBE)

  • Local Forums for Planner and Developer dialogue
  • Training courses for Councillors and other decision-makers

    Department for Communities and Local Government

    Government Office for the South East (GOSE)
  • Lobby as appropriate to limit the potential for regional objections to development or for applications to be 'called-in'


  • South East England Regional Assembly (SEERA)
  • Monitor and make representations as appropriate to the emerging South East Plan which will affect the potential for development in the region in the period to 2026
  • Local Forums for Planner and Developer dialogue
