Looking at and commenting on planning
applications.
We have prepared a simple guidance note to explain how to
do this. This document is called
'How to look and comment on planning
applications ' and explains how to use our
online planning applications search facility
The need for planning permission.
The Planning Portal have produced an
interactive
house which will explain
what building
works will require planning permission and which ones are
permitted development. There is also a
guide to
the planning system for small businesses. If you are unable to
findthe answers you are looking for the planning portal have also
prepared a list of frequently asked
questions
If you cannot find the answer you are looking for or you require
additional advice then for a fee we can give you written
advice about whether you need planning
permission.
We have prepared a
guide to explain the service and the
required fee. Homeowners should download
our Householder enquiry form.
Pre-application service
We offer a pre-application advice service. There is
normally a fee for this service and we have produced an
advice note which explains these
charges and the service that we provide.
Please note that from the 1 June 2011 we have introduced new
charges for requests for written advice relating to conservation or
listed building consent only.
We can also help you to submit a
valid
planning application.

national
