Need help preparing your application?

For almost half of all applications we receive, we are not given enough information and some are incomplete.

If information is missing, or if your application is inaccurate, we will return it to you and tell you what we need. Unfortunately we can't register your application until it is complete.

If you need help getting your planning application ready, why not find out about the pre-application service we can offer?

We charge for this service, but it can help to save you time and money in the long-run.
