Planning Service's awards
Planning Service's is committed to improving customer service.
Within this context we are constantly striving to develop fresh, new and innovative ideas. These can be about how to make life a little bit easier for anyone using the service, through to how we make Plymouth a better place in which to live, work and play. It is all about trying to make a real difference to people's lives.
While we recognise that we will always need to continue to improve, the work of Planning Services has been acknowledged by a number of national awards over the last few years. These are listed below:
