We can give you informal advice on whether
you need planning permission and help you make the most out of your
planning application.
There is no charge for this service and it can often save you
time and money in the long run as we can offer objective advice on
whether your proposal is worth pursuing.
Sometimes permission is not needed as household proposals can be
covered by
permitted development rights. However, constraints such as
Article 3s and
4s and planning conditions which have removed permitted
development rights can complicate matters.
Unfortunately, we can't tell you if an application will be
successful as decisions are only made once a planning application
has been submitted,
validated
and formally considered.
Planning laws and regulations are complex and we can only give
simplified general explanations via this website.
Therefore, you are strongly advised to contact
Development Control on 01275 888 811
about any specific proposals. Alternatively there is a wealth of
information about the planning system available on the
Planning Portal
website.
