General advice
Our pre-application advice service is offered both to developers and householders. In either case there are some general points which you should take into account before you contact us:
- Try to contact us at the earliest reasonable opportunity in your project
- Undertake some initial research yourself
- Seek the views of those that may be affected by your proposals
- Remember the more information you can give us, the more accurate and helpful our response can be – vague proposals will receive only vague advice. The key to the success of this service will be providing adequate information in advance
- On complex issues be prepared to seek private professional help – our service is not intended to be an alternative to employing professional consultants
