Benefits of the service
We encourage and welcome the opportunity to provide advice before an application is made. There are considerable benefits in seeking advice before making an application:
- It gives you an opportunity to understand how planning policies will be applied to your development.
- It can identify at an early stage where there is a need for specialist/technical input, for example on listed buildings, trees, highways, landscape, noise, transport, contaminated land, ecology and archaeology.
- It will assist you in preparing proposals for formal submission which, providing you have taken our advice fully into account, is likely to be handled more efficiently.
- It may lead to a reduction in time spent by your professional advisors in working up proposals.
- It may indicate at an early stage that a proposal is unacceptable, saving you the cost of pursuing a formal application.
- It can ensure an application is complete and comprehensive and to a satisfactory standard, avoiding rejection at registration stage or early refusal of permission because of inadequate or insufficient information.
