Head of Development Management & Enforcement (Ealing Council)
Ealing Council's Head of Development Management & Enforcement role is adapting to new national planning rules taking effect in October 2026.
Ealing Council's Head of Development Management & Enforcement role is preparing for new national planning rules, which will alter how development applications are approved from 31 October 2026. The Ealing Planning Committee discussed the implications of these reforms on 21 October 2026, which aim to standardise planning application determination across the country.
Under the new National Scheme of Delegation, routine planning applications will be determined by officers, while committees will focus on those with significant local or planning issues. These changes, which take effect from 31 October 2026, will impact the responsibilities overseen by the Head of Development Management & Enforcement, a senior role responsible for managing development applications and enforcement.
