Make a developer pre-application planning enquiry

If you are a developer you can use this form to find out whether your proposal is acceptable.

Provide the following in support of your enquiry:

  • an assessment of the site characteristics, constraints or opportunities and its context in relation to the surrounding area
  • accurate site survey plans and tree condition surveys (where applicable) - these will be needed if a planning application is submitted and are likely to be useful for designing a scheme too
  • draft design principles for the site developed from the findings of the site survey work

Fee

The fee depends on the type of enquiry you are making. At the end of this form you will be taken to our online payment system. You can view the fees online.

The form will automatically calculate the fee to pay. You will need to pay this fee when submitting the form. If payment is not made, the form will not be submitted and processed.

We reserve the right to reject requests for pre-application advice where a prospective applicant has ignored advice previously given on the same site.
