A pre-planning application is an informal consultation with a local councils planning officer to get early feedback on a proposed development before submitting a formal planning application, helping to identify potential issues, understand policy requirements and determine the feasibility of a project saving time and cost later.

The pre-planning process can be a valuable tool for some applicants in order to understand the work and surveys required for an application as well as the potential likelihood of success.

To get assistance with deciding whether this step is necessary and likely to be useful for your project, please get in touch or book an initial free consultation with us.
