The goal of the Planning Dept is to provide society with a way of controlling the use and development of land for homes and buildings in a sustainable way. It is positive in promoting competitiveness while protecting the environment.
Through our powers as a Local Planning Authority, we ensure that any new development of land or buildings is undertaken in a way that protects residents' wishes and the environment. This section provides information about planning services, planning policy and planning applications.

Please note we are currently experiencing technical difficulties with our Planning Applications search facility.
If you are trying to search for a planning application from 2003 onwards and receive no results, you can view the application at the District Council offices. Alternatively, you may email David Richardson our e-planning system officer at eplanning@stalbans.gov.uk who will provide you with a direct link to view the PDF file of the planning application you are searching for, if available.
