What happens next?

After we receive your request for pre-application advice or a Planning Performance Agreement we will:

  • review your pre-application and any documents
  • send an acknowledgement letter with:
    • the assigned officer’s details
    • the expected timescales for assessment
  • confirm that the fee paid is correct, or invoice any additional fees
  • confirm any fee for a Planning Performance Agreement under Categories A to E
  • advise if any additional information is required (for example, additional plans, a meeting, or a site visit)

The assigned officer will then review your submission and advise on the next steps or outcome.
