We aim to advise of the merits of a scheme delivering more certainty by indicating likely or possible outcomes for it. We also aim to understand what your priorities are and aim to work collaboratively with you to resolve enforcement problems.

Requests for pre-application advice and the response provided will not be published on the council’s website. 

There is the possibility that under Freedom of Information Regulations (FOI) or Environmental Information Regulations (EIR), we will be asked to provide information about enquiries, and we have to decide whether the information can be released.

However, the provisions of the FOI or EIR are binding to the Council and therefore it should be presumed that information supplied to the Council is likely to be disclosed under the above Act should a request be made. You should state clearly if you want information to remain confidential and why. Information sent to the Council "in confidence" may still be disclosed under the above Act.

Planning Aid is a network of planning volunteers providing free and independent advice to community groups and individuals who can’t afford a consultant.

If you need any help or have any questions, please email: contact@rtpi.org.uk or call 0207 929 9494.

Any pre-application advice provided by the Local Planning Authority does not constitute a formal decision of the Council. Advice is given without prejudice to the consideration by the Council of any formal planning application, which will be subject to wider consultation and publicity. 

Policies and constraints change from time to time and may affect the advice given.
