Overview

Pre-application discussions with the local planning authority can be invaluable in identifying potential issues early and improving your chances of securing planning permission. We can advise you, or simply manage this process on your behalf, ensuring you get the most from these discussions.

Our experience in pre-application negotiations helps you understand the authority's position, address concerns before formal submission, and potentially save time and money by avoiding refused applications.

We prepare comprehensive pre-application submissions, attend meetings with planning officers, and provide clear advice on how to proceed based on the feedback received.
