The Pre-application Service provides:

Where an opinion of the council is required, we will make a Pre- Application submission to the planning authority to negotiate and secure written advice before the submission of a planning application. This prevents wasted time and expense where we know that your proposal could face significant resistance. Therefore we will deal with matters for you and provide the following services to assist you:

• A meeting, when required, to discuss your proposal and view documentation

• Assessment of the site and surroundings

• Pre-application submission to the council to obtain their opinion of the scheme proposed and any changes that may be required
