Planning performance agreements
For larger and more complex major planning proposals, it's highly recommended you enter into a Planning Performance Agreement (PPA). The key advantage to entering into a PPA is the council will have the resources in place to ensure your application goes through the process in a timely fashion and results in a high-quality development.
The PPA typically involves funding from the developer allowing the authority to hire an additional planner as a dedicated case officer for your proposals.
Ed Laughton (elaughton@hillingdon.gov.uk) and Noel Kelly (nkelly@hillingdon.gov.uk) are available to discuss the details of a PPA.
