Can you guarantee Planning Approval?

Unfortunately not. Although most councils publish guidance on what is permitted, it is open to interpretation and subjective judgements. Local and recent precedents may be a guide, but each submission is judged on its own merits and often requires some negotiation. We use our experience of working with the councils to give you the best chance of success at planning.

How long does Planning take?

The Directorate will endeavour to make a decision on the majority of applications within eight weeks of the application having been validated. However, this will depend upon the nature and complexity of the application. Some applications will take longer to consider and further information or amended plans may be required.
