How we can assist
Pre-application discussions can clarify the scope of information needed, potential policy concerns and the merits of different design options. Informal advice does not bind the planning authority or guarantee a future decision.
Our consultancy scope
- Initial consultation
- Policy review
- Council engagement
- Strategy notes
- Design options
How a project progresses
We begin with your objectives and site details, examine the relevant planning history and policy framework, identify constraints and discuss an appropriate scope of professional services. Where instructed, we coordinate the submission and provide updates as the application progresses.
What information should you provide?
- Site address or location map
- Details of existing buildings and lawful use
- Any previous planning reference numbers
- Sketches, drawings or photographs where available
- Your proposed use, scale and timescale
Important planning considerations
Requirements depend on the planning authority, the adopted development plan and any other material considerations. Technical reports and statutory application fees are separate unless expressly included in a written quotation. Planning approval is not guaranteed.
