Fill out an application form. The more information you can give us, the better we can assist you in developing your proposals and making your application. Please note: you may need a follow-up meeting (50% of the cost of the initial meeting, with payment made prior to the meeting taking place).
We will allocate a case officer to each formal pre-application submission. More complex proposals may require the involvement of other officers and the council retains absolute discretion as to who is involved in delivering the service.
In certain circumstances, the council might require independent, external advice (particularly associated with the scheme viability, daylight and sunlight review, and retail and environmental impact assessments). The applicant will be expected to meet the costs of these forms of independent advice.
