  • make amendments to your application if needed
  • increase the likelihood of getting planning permission
  • get your submitted plans validated quicker
  • get a clearer understanding of our planning policies
  • identify which other bodies you should contact

You'll also get a named planning case officer. They'll help you with your planning application when it's submitted.
