Getting Planning Advice
From the 14th January there will be changes
for anyone wishing to seek advice from the Council about
whether a proposed extension or alteration will require
planning permission or not. Any proposal that does not
relate to a domestic property will require the applicant to write
to the Council.
Personal callers
Anyone wishing to speak to a planning officer
face-to-face will be able to pre-book an appointment through
Customer Services, giving the following information; site address,
an exact description of the proposal, where in relation
to the existing dwelling it will be sited, dimensions of what is
proposed, name, and a contact telephone number. There will be
15 minute appointments from 9.30am to 11am and then from 11.45am to
1.30pm.
You can then discuss your proposal and receive
more definitive advice about it as a history search will hopefully
have been done and the duty planning officer can have already
sought a second opinion before the appointment, if
necessary.
All callers will be advised in writing within
10 working days of the duty appointment whether permission is
needed and any advice on how to improve the scheme.
Telephone callers
If anyone rings and wants simple advice,
Customer Services will take the same information as above and
e-mail the duty planning officer. They will then ring and
advise by the next day, at the very latest.
If you would like to make an appointment to
see the duty planner then please call customer services on (023)
9244 6015.
