Planning

The Development Control pages aim to allow public access to information about the planning applications for which Milton Keynes Partnership (MKP) is responsible, allowing you to track the progress of applications, view submitted documents including plans and drawings, and to comment on these during the consultation period.

We have also provided assistance for our developer partners, providing background information and assistance on preparing and submitting applications. Accordingly, we have divided the information between these two interest groups.
