Apply for pre-planning application advice - Statutory

The more information that can be provided, the more accurate and helpful our response can be.

This will enable us to provide a written response to all valid enquiries and as a minimum we will aim to provide the following:

relevant planning history of the site
relevant development plan policies against which the development proposal will be assessed
relevant supplementary planning guidance
any other material planning considerations
an initial assessment of the proposed development, based on the information above
check any Welsh Water sewers that may in in the vicinity

As well as whether any Section 106 or Community Infrastructure Levy contributions are likely to be sought, along with an indication of the scope and amount of those contributions, details of any documents and particulars, that would be required for a subsequent application to be a valid application.

On complex issues be prepared to seek private professional help – our service is not intended to be an alternative to employing professional consultants.

To complete a pre-planning application advice form, please ensure you include a site location plan, any additional supporting information and the relevant fee.
