Planning Advice
How we can advise you
We provide positive advice about improving schemes, not just advise whether they are likely to be supported, and in our responses we will advise about the information needed for a subsequent application.
Getting specialist advice from us before you make a planning application could help you:
avoid costly mistakes
save time
understand our policies and specialist areas
identify potential problems early on and find solutions
get advice about how to improve your scheme
You can submit a planning advice request using our online form
Types of prior approval
There are different types of prior approval which require various levels of detail. The more information you give us about what you want to do, the more valuable and precise our advice will be. This includes a Council who will assess a proposal. Depending on what you are seeking prior approval for, you could be required to submit information on a wide variety of aspects of the proposal, including:
- Clear address for the site, preferably with the postcode
- Brief description of what you want to do such as a ‘two storey rear extension’
- Confirmation of the advice level you require
- Plans of what you want to do, drawn to metric scale no bigger than A3 with a scale bar on each page
- A fee to cover our costs of providing your advice
