Process
Pre-application advice can only be offered based upon information that has been seen and considered by the case officer. The customer must ensure that all relevant information has been provided.
Where the customer is meeting with the case officer, information must be provided a minimum of 10 working days in advance. The case officer will not comment on any information that the customer does not provide in line with these timescales.
Please note significant changes to the scheme will not be accepted and will require a new pre-application enquiry.
Customers may also provide accompanying documents to further help explain their development proposals. At minimum, the customer is asked to provide a location plan with the site outlined in red and any known environmental constraints marked (e.g. existing trees, levels, and water management issues such as flood plains, culverted water courses, etc) in 1:1250 or 1:2500 scale.
