Pre-application Advice

We are able to provide you with advice and information if you are considering submitting a development proposal. We welcome and encourage discussions before you submit your application. We acknowledge the advantages of providing good quality advice to developers and their agents prior to the formal submission of a planning application in order to help speed up the development process and avoid unacceptable proposals.

The Benefits of Pre application Advice

Pre application advice will provide you with the following benefits:
  • understanding how our policies will be applied to your development
  • identifying the need for specialist input at an early stage e.g. for listed buildings, transportation, trees, landscape, noise, health, contaminated land or archaeology
  • guiding in the preparation of proposals for formal submission, which, if you follow our advice, should be handled more quickly
  • potentially reducing the time your professional advisors’ spend in working up the proposals
  • indicating those proposals that are completely unacceptable, so saving you the cost of pursuing a formal application
