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.
