Pre-Application Advice Service

Our Planning Service is keen to help to make the Planning process as simple as possible. Our website has been designed to provide customers with a range of information about common projects, maps that show if your site falls into a conservation area or is affected by other restrictions.

If this information does not provide you with adequate guidance for your specific project, we encourage you to use our pre-application advice service. We can provide you with detailed comments and advice relating to your proposed development, identifying any issues at an early stage, so they can be addressed before a formal planning application is made.

Please select one of the Pre-Application advice services below:

Pre-Application Advice for Householders: For advice on work to existing dwellings.

Pre-Application Development Advice: If you are planning on building new homes, converting your property into flats, building new employment spaces, or changing use, our pre-application developer service can help you.

Listed Building Advice Services: For specific Listed Building enquiries and advice. If your scheme requires Planning input on a Listed Building, please use one of the Planning Pre-App options and Conservation Team will be consulted as part of the process.
