House with solar panels

A 'clean and green' Bromley is one of the main reasons people enjoy living or working in the borough. About half the borough's land is green belt so protecting this now, and for future generations, is a top priority, with more energy-efficient buildings and better waste recycling.

Planning

We can give information and advice on all aspects of planning from details on the types of development that require planning permission to advice and guidance on preparing and submitting plans and applications.

Recycling and waste management

We collect your waste weekly and your recycling materials fortnightly. By reducing the growth of waste and increasing recycling, you are contributing to a better Bromley and a sustainable future.

Parks and open spaces

We have over a hundred parks, ranging from large parks like Kelsey Park to smaller neighbourhood recreation grounds.

Conservation and urban design

We have a large area of natural and built heritage to manage and protect. Conservation of the environment, in all these forms, is a priority for us.

Environmental health

We aim to protect and improve public health and to provide a fair and safe trading environment to make a difference to the quality of life for everyone.

Trading standards

If you are a Bromley consumer or a Bromley business you can get help, advice and information about buying and selling all kinds of goods and services.
