It can be very helpful to seek the council’s advice about your planning proposals before submitting your actual application. This can help to overcome potential difficulties and ensure the application deals with all important planning considerations.
We will aim to respond to you within 6 weeks of submission, depending on the complexity of the proposal. However major applications may take significantly longer to deal with. In such instances we will seek to agree appropriate timescales, ideally as part of a planning performance agreement (PPA).
Your application will not be processed without payment, so, please ensure you have all the funds ready prior to filling in the online application form.
The hourly rate for our pre application services is £250 per hour (including VAT)
