Planning and building regulations

Planning permission is needed to build on or change the use of land or buildings. Planning proposals in Denbighshire are assessed against policies set out in Future Wales – The National Plan 2040 and Denbighshire County Council’s Adopted Local Development Plan 2006 to 2021. Building regulations set standards for the design and construction of structures.
