Timing of Planning Submissions

Are you aware of timescales for new development Plans? It is crucial to be making representations* within the prescribed timetables. We can assist with this process. Better to be prepared early rather than rushing about at the last minute. The volume of information UP-FRONT that is required in the new Planning era means that longer lead in times are required to obtain that information.

If you have land for development which has potential, there are often access and always traffic issues to be considered. What are other owners in the settlement doing with potential sites ? Does your land require a master plan to progress planning consent? Don’t sit back and think it will be all right on the night. Is a joint approach required with other adjoining / adjacent land owners ? Drop us an email for our pack of information which can be forwarded on to you free of charge which shows the basic information/ research to be carried out to get to the starting point. Check out our 'greamstop' nmemonic model for land required 'check list' of points  that a house builder / developer  seeking land will require to consider .

With the new Planning era, land has to be assessed and put forward ' into the pot' at an earlier stage. Community Engagement will have to be considered.  See our Planning - Legal section for more information.
