Planning Applications
Planning Applications
When making a planning application, you may want to seek assistance from a legal representative. This will take a weight off your shoulders, as your solicitor will handle the process on your behalf, providing planning application advice and guidance at every stage.
Making a planning application
Planning applications must be submitted to your Local Planning Authority (LPA). The planning application must include:-
- The correct form, with all fields completed
- Supporting documentation, including the mandatory national and local documentation, and any other evidence that you think will support your application
- The correct fee, which will be calculated according to the type of application being submitted
It is important to fulfil all of the above or your planning application will not be considered.
Planning application advice
To ensure you complete your planning application effectively, you can always seek professional assistance.
A solicitor who specialises in planning applications will be able to create a strong application on your behalf, incorporating a range of evidence that supports your proposed project. This will ultimately save you considerable financial risk, and will reduce the time and stress that is involved in planning.
