Before submitting an application for development, we encourage discussion and provide pre-application advice for anyone thinking of making an application to the council
This service is designed to make you aware of any likely issues that may affect the outcome of your development proposals, to provide positive recommendations to a scheme and deter applications that have little or no prospect of success. This advice benefits the applicant by speeding up the development process and minimising the costs of submitting subsequent or unacceptable applications.
Please note: any views or opinions expressed are given in good faith and to the best of ability without prejudice to formal consideration of any planning application, which will be subject to public consultation and ultimately decided by the council.
