essential planning permission considerations
To encourage a successful result, a multitude of factors need to be considered before submitting your application. Some of the questions we'll typically ask to build your strategy include:
- Who's in control of the Council?
- What are the current planning policies?
- Do we need to consider any relevant environmental policies?
- Do we need to compile an environmental audit?
- Has the Council performed - or are they intending to perform - an internal environmental audit?
- When are the next elections due?
- In which Ward (District and Council) is the site located?
- If the site is near a boundary, which other wards could be affected?
- Who are the Ward Councillors and do they sit on relevant Committees or play a leading role in the Council?
- What's the Council's decision making record on this type of application?
- Have the local press made any comment regarding the site?
- Have the main parties put out any related news sheets?
- Who are the key local players?
- What are the key local factors?
- What are the leading local resident associations or local action groups?
- How will local business be affected by the development?
- How are other Council Committees (for instance, Transport, Highways or Environment) likely to react if the planning committee approves planning permission?
