When to get advice
The pre-application advice service is designed to help applicants:
- Establish if the development is likely to be granted planning permission
- How the development is affected by planning policies and law
- Frontload planning applications and resolve issues with the proposal
- What other information may need to be include with the application
It is advisable to provide as much information on the proposal as possible. When submitting a pre-application you should include:
- Draft drawings and plans
- Site location plan
- Photographs, this is especially important when applying for advice on listed buildings.
- A full description of the proposal
- Design & Assess Statement
If you are looking for more general advice additional information is available on the Planning Portal
