Why Seek Pre-Application Planning Advice?

Applying for planning permission without proper preparation can lead to costly delays or refusals. By engaging in pre-application discussions with your local planning authority—supported by Complete Planning—you can:

• Identify planning policy constraints before submitting your application
• Understand what drawings, surveys, and reports may be required
• Receive early feedback from planning officers
• Save time and money by reducing the likelihood of refusal

Our consultants manage the entire pre-application process, ensuring your proposal is well-presented and professionally supported before submission.
