Prior Approvals and Notifications

Prior approval is required for certain types of permitted development where the principle of development may already be allowed, but the local planning authority must first assess specific matters such as design, highways, flooding, noise, contamination, neighbour impact or natural light. The requirements vary depending on the type of proposal, so it is important to understand whether prior approval is needed before starting work.

At JL Planning, we can review your project, confirm the correct application route, organise the necessary plans and supporting information, and manage the submission to the Council on your behalf.
