What happens when I submit my application

The planning application system follows this process:

• when a planning application is received by the Council, we check all the details submitted are correct and the application is valid
• if it's valid, we would contact neighbours and other interested parties, and they are given 21 days in which to comment on the planning application
• planning officer makes a site visit to assess the application and its impact on the surrounding area
• we will negotiate with you or your agent if there are any issues
• recommendation is made of either approval, approval subject to conditions, or if approval is not possible; a refusal is made
