BOROUGHS

I can’t choose which development is best for me, can you help me decide?

First of all, this is a great way to start; by asking questions before deciding. Having the expertise of a professional can often help you find ‘untapped potential’ and address your issues and concerns. We are happy to have a chat and also provide a free 1-hour consultation at your property.

How long is my planning application valid for?

Validity is stated in the approval letter and it is usually three years from the date the letter has been issued. If you have not started work within that timeframe, it is likely that you will need to reapply.

How long is my building control application valid for?

Usually (as stated in the letter) all Building Control applications are valid for three years from the date deposit (Building Notice) OR Approved (Full Plans Application). If you have not started work within that timeframe, it is likely that you will need to reapply.

How long does the planning application process take?

The planning application process usually takes 6-8 weeks. Sometimes, an extension of time may be requested for the planning officer to make a decision.

How long does the building control application process take?

Construction works can begin after a building notice application has been issued. The notice will be valid for three years. Alternatively, a full plans application can be applied and will take 6-8 weeks for approval. After the application is approved, building works can begin.

How can I check the progress of my planning application?

We usually keep you informed with the progress of your planning application. Your planning application will have its unique reference number, so you can log onto the council’s website and use the reference number to check the status of the planning application.

I’m not sure if my property has permitted development rights/planning restrictions or if my property is within a conservation/designated area.

We suggest to check the paperwork that came with purchasing the freehold/leasehold of your property. Alternatively, if you are still in contact with your solicitor, they may be able to confirm this. Otherwise, we are happy to take the burden off your hands and find out for you.

My planning application has been previously rejected. Will I need to pay another planning application fee again?

No – with most planning applications, you will have one additional free submission within the 12 month period.
