If you are planning to change your property or build something new, we can give you advice before you apply for formal planning permission.
This is known as pre-application advice.
A planning officer will review your proposed development and provide advice about:
- whether you need planning permission
- the likelihood of your planning application being approved
- any issues that you need to consider before you submit your planning application
- the information, forms and documents you need to submit with your planning application to ensure it is valid
The advice we give you will depend on your plans. So that we can give you the correct advice, you will need to give us details about you want to do.
We recommend online meetings using Microsoft Team where possible, as they are safer and quicker to arrange.
Fees
The fees you need to pay also depend on the type of advice you are applying for. You can see the relevant fee after you have selected the type of work you plan to do.
If your works falls into more than one category, you need to pay the higher fee.
Plans and documents
You can upload plans and documents with your application, so the Planning Officer can assess your proposal.
The more information you can provide, the more useful you will find the advice we can give. You need to include an accurate site plan.
