Land, premises and planning

Where North Norfolk District Council has received a planning application, our team will normally be asked to consult on the application and provide our comments on its economic impact. So that we can provide a comprehensive comment, we would normally discuss the application with the applicant to understand the applicant’s business strategy or business plan.

If you would like to discuss the economic aspect of your planning application, please email economic.growth@north-norfolk.go.uk, quoting your planning application number.
