Get pre-planning application advice
You can pay for pre-planning application advice to help you submit a planning application.
Our pre-planning application advice service can save you time and money.
The service is aimed at applicants who have a proposed development in mind and some draft plans.
We'll give you advice on:
- if your development is likely to be granted planning permission
- resolving any issues with your proposal
- how your proposal is affected by planning law and policies
- what else you might need to include
If you're looking for more general advice about whether you need permission or how to make an application please check our guide to the planning application process.
