We offer a pre-application advice service to anyone wanting guidance prior to the submission of a planning application. By using this service you will be able to find out whether your proposal is acceptable in planning terms, as well as improve the quality of the proposal and highlight the key issues that should be addressed in your application. The advice will help to ensure your submission contains all information required, which can prevent delays in the planning process – potentially saving you time and money.
The more information you give us during pre-application discussions, the more comprehensive the advice we can give you. Below is a list of required information, however, if you have and can provide further information, this will allow for more in-depth and informed advice.
