Apply for planning permission

We recommend you use our planning advice services before you plan a project as it can help you save time and money.

This includes finding out if you need planning permission for your building project.

We can give you advice on a range of services for a fee, including:

• initial or pre-application planning advice
• follow-on planning advice, for comprehensive guidance on a more complete planning proposal
• finding out if planning permission is required
• a planning history check, to see what previous work has been permitted or refused
• a building control history check, to see what previous work has been permitted or refused
