Planning and Transport are at the heart of change and development within communities across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.

Our service plays a vital role in improving the lives of residents, businesses, and visitors throughout the area.

By managing both the natural and built environment, delivering new transport infrastructure, and maintaining our existing network, we ensure that the area’s future development needs can be met - making it a better place to live, visit, and work.

Whether it’s business or residential development, minerals or waste, major transport improvements or new disabled parking bays, we work collectively to deliver the best possible services for the communities we serve.

This also creates opportunities for employees to be involved in a wide variety of interesting and meaningful projects.

Our service includes

Planning Operations (Development Management, Planning Enforcement and Arboriculture)

Strategic Planning (Planning Policy, Urban Design and Heritage, Planning Contributions Monitoring)

Transport and Sustainable Travel (Sustainable Transport Policy, Transport Network and Transport Development Management)

We're proud to have received the Platinum Reward for our street data for the last three years running.
