Planning advice for major developments
Pre-application service (fees apply)
Our pre-application service gives you the chance to discuss your proposed scheme before you submit an application. A dedicated planning officer will let you know:
- if your proposal is likely to be acceptable
- what might make your application acceptable
- how we apply our policies to your proposal
- the type of application form and additional information you need to submit
We can identify potential problems early and tell you how to address them. This will give your project the best chance of success.
You will need to send us:
- your completed pre-application advice application form (pdf) or email the details required by the form
- your site location plan
- proposed details or sketches to show the design principles and layouts
- existing details or sketches
- details of buildings, sheds, trees and existing uses
It would be helpful if you could also provide:
- photographs to describe the site / building as existing

Option to use our Development Team
If you choose the ‘meeting with Development Team’ option, we will:
- offer a meeting with technical officers and specialists (for example relating to transport, design and pollution control), to determine the requirements for application submissions and/or supporting information
- identify any potential planning constraints and the impact they may have
- discuss possible planning conditions or legal agreements that you’ll need
- clarify planning policies and issues specific to your site
The final decision on planning applications may be made by the Planning Committee, or delegated to senior officers. We are unable to offer guarantees about the decision that will be made on your application(s).
