Introduction
We're committed to providing an efficient and effective planning service which meets government performance targets for processing applications. We welcome discussions about planning applications before formal submission.
We will ask for details about the planning proposal. You will be able to upload supporting information including plans, photographs and maps.
If you're considering changes to your property, we offer three levels of service:
- written response only. We charge £269 (incl. VAT)
- face to face meeting at the Council offices to discuss your application with an officer. You will receive a written response following the meeting. This costs £332 (incl. VAT)
- on-site meeting with an officer and a written response following the meeting. We charge £397 (incl. VAT)
We make every effort to ensure that the advice given in the pre-application process is as accurate as possible. However, any advice given by council officers for pre-application enquiries does not constitute a formal response or decision by the Council in respect of any future planning applications. Whilst such advice will be a material consideration, it cannot be held to bind the Council in its validation or formal determination of a subsequent application.
