Planning Pre-application Advice

We offer a written service for which a charge is made. A ‘virtual’ meeting can also be arranged.

A drop in, on-demand service is no longer provided and all meetings are by appointment only.

All requests for pre-application written advice must be made using the correct form together with any supporting information requested by the form.

• Householder pre-application online enquiry form (for extensions, conservatories, porches, fencing, walls)
• Non-householder pre-application online enquiry form (for new residential development, commercial, change of use, listed building)

This covers proposals for:

• Planning permission
• Permitted developments
• Consent to carry out work to protected trees
• Listed buildings
