Development enquiry service

Get advice before you make a planning application.

Planning Services are able to provide you with advice and information if you are considering a development proposal.

We encourage and welcome discussions before you submit a planning application – whatever it is for.

This is called pre-application advice.

If you are unsure if you need planning permission you may want to check our Do I need planning permission page first.

This service:

  • offers you an opportunity to understand how our policies will be applied to your development
  • helps you to identify potential problems and sort them out before an application is submitted
  • can prevent costly and time consuming amendments to schemes later

There is a charge for this service. The charge varies depending on the size of your development.

To apply for the development enquiry service, please complete the form below and email a signed copy along with the required information to
planningconsents@plymouth.gov.uk.

We will be reviewing it regularly to make sure we provide the service we have promised. If you have any comments on the service please contact us
