Forward Planning is responsible for drawing up the Local Development Framework as well as other documents for North Warwickshire, giving policy guidance and advice and undertaking monitoring. The Forward Planning pages include information on Economic Development who work in partnership with many organisations who have an interest in the local economy.

Development Control is responsible for a range of planning functions including processing planning applications, Listed Building and Conservation Area Control, dealing with planning appeals, enforcing planning controls and giving planning advice to the public and developers.

Building Control ensure that building work is carried out to approved standards (Building Regulations), and that safe and healthy conditions are provided for the users of all buildings. In North Warwickshire, this service is provided by the Northern Warwickshire Building Control Partnership.

In addition, Central Services provide support to the Development Control section in the Planning process, and is also responsible for the provision of the Local Land Charges service and Street Naming and Numbering.
