Get advice on whether your project is likely to be granted planning permission. We'll tell you about any issues before you submit a formal planning application, which can save you time and money.

You can submit this type of application confidentially and get advice from the council before making the project publicly available.

What you’ll need

To complete your application you’ll need:

• information about the person applying (name, address and contact details)
• details about the project
• plans and drawings in PDF, JPG or PNG format (we’ll tell you what documents to submit during the application)
• a credit or debit card to pay any fees (you can also invite someone else to pay for the application)

You may need to provide more information for more complex projects.

How much does it cost?

How much you pay depends on:

• the project
• how you want to get your advice (for example, a letter or meeting)
