When we have received your application we will check that all
the information is correct. We can process your application more
quickly if you make sure that all the relevant sections are
completed properly, your plans are clear and any required fee is
correct.
To process an application the Local Planning Authority require
the information detailed in Parts 1 and 2 below to be
submitted with the application.
The period for deciding the application cannot commence until
all the information has been received. Please use the
checklists below (Part 3) to assist you and submit a copy of
the relevant checklist with your application.
If your application is valid it will be allocated to a planning
case officer and you will receive an acknowledgement letter
informing you of the application number and the name of
the case officer.
If your application is invalid, we will write to you explaining
what we require you to do.
How long should my application take?
The Council aim to deal with most of the minor and other
applications, including householder applications, within 8 weeks
and 13 weeks for major applications. We publish our
performance figures
in meeting these targets each year.
