Pre-planning application advice services
We offer a range of services that you can access before applying for planning permission, from general householder queries to more service-specific queries and planning performance agreements for larger developments.
Our standard pre-planning advice from the planning team falls into two categories: statutory and non-statutory. More information on these as well as fees and information about other standard pre-planning services, such as additional meetings and advice in relation to listed buildings and trees can be found below.
Additional pre-planning advice offers more in-depth advice from a range of sections in the council, such as highways, pollution control, waste management etc.
Standard pre-planning application advice
Being able to query planning issues prior to the submission of a formal application enables applicants the opportunity to consider these issues and, if necessary, amend the proposals before they are finalised and submitted as planning applications.
Additional pre-planning application advice
Service-specific advice from a number of our departments on your plans - for householders and developers.
Planning performance agreements
Developers have the option of entering into a voluntary planning performance agreement (PPA) with us.
