The Planning Inspectorate has a long and proud history in ensuring a fair planning system. Part of central government, we are an executive agency whose purpose is to deal with planning appeals, applications for national infrastructure, local plan examinations and other planning-related and specialist casework. We do so in a fair, impartial and open way.
Appeals – The right to appeal a planning decision made by a local planning authority is a key feature of the planning system, as is appealing when an authority is taking too long. Our inspectors make well-explained decisions on everything from individual footpaths through to large housing developments, giving all involved a fair opportunity to have their say.
Applications – The planning of new national infrastructure like roads, train lines and power stations needs expertise to balance the country’s needs and developers’ plans with the likely impacts on localities. We provide a streamlined application process, providing certainty for all involved, including ministers who make the final decision on whether a project is approved.
Examinations - Succinct and up-to-date local plans should provide a positive vision for the future of each area and a framework for addressing housing needs and other economic, social and environmental priorities. We examine whether local plans from local authorities fully meet local needs and are legally compliant.

Our vision is to provide our customers with high quality, timely and efficient services that support the nation’s recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic by engaging, empowering and equipping our workforce and by delivering ambitious policy changes.
To turn our vision into reality, our Strategic Plan outlines the objectives we will be delivering over the coming three financial years. We will be focusing on delivery of three strategies - Customer Strategy, Digital and Data Strategy and People Strategy.
The Digital and Data Strategy is fundamental to achieving our vision and sets out a number of medium and long-term goals. In summary:
The expertise of our people is our greatest asset. We have around 800 staff and 100 contractors who work from home or from our office in Bristol.
It is our ambition to build a diverse workforce where everyone is valued and included. Individuals are empowered to challenge inappropriate behaviours, regardless of their position in the organisation. We are striving to ensure that everything we do is fair and inclusive and promotes diversity. Our vision is to better reflect the diverse make up of the communities we serve and foster positive relationships with our customers.
We are committed to ensuring that everything we do is fair, inclusive and promotes diversity in characteristics and thought. Our vision is to better reflect the diverse make up of our customers and ensure that everyone feels more included in the workplace, regardless of their own backgrounds. Everyone is respected and valued, differences are embraced and employees can bring their true self to work. This is encompassed by our ‘Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy’ and is supported by the entire organisation, including the Executive Team.
We are invested in career development so that our people can be as happy, healthy, productive and satisfied in work as possible. We believe that continuous learning is at the heart of growing satisfaction, effectiveness and flexibility, both on our own and as a team.
All employees can shape their development plan with their line manager and should undertake a minimum of 5 learning days per year. We believe that the 70/20/10 model of learning is generally a good guideline for ensuring learning that is relevant, focussed, easily embedded, and balanced with business needs.
