This aims to speed up the householder written
representations appeal process and will relate
to householder applications received on or after 6 April
2009.
New Guidance explains these and other changes as well
as the procedures to be followed at appeal.

Do I need an appointment to see
someone?
A
Duty Planning
Officer is available everyday between the hours of
9.30 am and 12 Noon for
general
advice and assistance. The Duty Planning
Officer will only be able to spend a short amount of time with each
caller. If you need longer than 10 minutes; wish to see
an
Enforcement Officer; or
if you wish to arrange a
pre-application
appointment with a planning officer, then
please contact them
direct
within the area they cover.
Due to the need to fully check
details and be legally accurate, it is not possible
for Officers to give verbal advice on the need for an
application. These requests are required in writing either by
letter or by completing an
enquiry form. The
information leaflets

assist.
