Pre-application paid services

To provide additional support to developers and their consultants we offer a pre-application advice service for all scales of development. We offer: 

  • Written advice only - most suited to developers who have already advanced quite far with their drainage strategies and are looking for a review of their proposals.
  • Meeting with LLFA Officer and written advice – most suited to developers who have ideas about how to approach their drainage strategy but who would like to discuss the detail with officers. Each meeting is followed up with a written summary of the meeting.

The pre-application advice service is structured to provide ‘in principle’ feedback on proposals as well as more detailed discussions and negotiations on a scheme prior to formal submission of a planning application.

If you wish to take up our pre-application service, please complete the online application form below, this includes full details of the charges.

Free telephone advice

We also offer a free 15-minute telephone call to discuss surface water drainage proposals. The calls are with a Lead Local Authority officer (LLFA) and are suitable for all application stages.
