Welcome to Stockton Borough Council's Planning Services.
The Planning section deals with planning applications and associated matters, and also work on the Local Plan and new Local Development Framework, which sets out future planning policies and proposed land uses for the borough. The section aims to provide the best service and to support the Council's objectives to make the Borough a better place to work, learn and live.
There are two main areas of the Planning Section:
- The Development Control Section who deal with planning applications, and
- The Spatial Planning Section (formerly Development Plans Team) who provide support and guidance to the Council by preparing and adopting Planning policies and supplementary planning documents.
Gloucester House Planning reception is open between the hours of 08.30-17.00 Monday -Wednesday, 08.30-19.00 Thursday and 8.30-16.30 Friday

There are also a number of services that are commonly mistaken for "planning", but these are in fact partner services. Information about these services may be found elsewhere on the Council's web site by following the links to their pages below.
