Before submitting a planning application, please request pre-application (pre-app) advice to check if a proposal will be acceptable.

This irons out issues at the start, saving time and money. As a thank you for submitting a pre-app enquiry, all customers who go on to submit a planning application, will receive an Enhanced Planning Service. If you have submitted a pre-app, we will aim to process your subsequent planning application within ten weeks for majors and five weeks for all other applications (unless you agree to an extension of time).

We will send you a prompt response to your pre-app submission once the correct fee has been paid. The pre-app fee is 20% of the national planning application fee for the development proposed. For example, a pre-app for one new house would cost £115.60 (20% of £578) and a house extension would cost £51.60 (20% of £258). Please calculate 20% of the correct development type. 

For more information on fees, please view Application fees. Alternatively, you can use the planning fees calculator.
