What Do You Need to Submit a Pre-Application?
Welcome back to the PreApp blog! Today’s article features a breakdown of exactly what you need to submit a pre-application. Don’t forget, if you’re not already, be sure to follow us across all social media platforms and subscribe to our YouTube channel for weekly video content!
The difference between what we need here at PreApp and what the council need is markedly different and ultimately this is because you need us to undertake the due diligence for you, rather than be spoon fed too much information.
What does your Local Planning Authority need?
A Local Planning Authority will expect you to provide the following:
Location Plan.
Site Plan.
An understanding an a planning rationale behind what you wish to do.
Other technical documents.
What does PreApp need?
Here at PreApp, we don’t want a lot of that information because ultimately, you want us to go ahead and undertake the due diligence to understand what you need to do, how you need to do it and how to present it when you submit you submit your application. All we ever ask for is the following:
A general understanding of the land in question; this could be an annotated Google Earth plan, a location plan or even something that’s hand drawn!
An understanding of the address and the size of the location in question.
A broad description of what you’re looking to achieve.
If you have plans already, that’s fantastic, please submit them in the pre-application submission, but if not, just give us a general understanding of what you’re looking to do!
At that point in time, we’ll have enough information in order to prepare our pre-application submission because we’ll undertake all of the checks and balance you require on our end. The benefits of this is that you don’t need to go ahead and worry too much about presenting us with a substantial amount of information that you need to prepare and also you don’t need to take on the initial cost exercise of preparing tons of reporting in order to inform you pre-application submission.
So there we have it, a simple and easy process. PreApp is there to make the process as straight forward as possible for you in order to get the advice as quickly and as cheaply as possible so that you can go ahead and prepare your subsequent application. Follow the questionnaire and the advice presented in the PreApp form and that’s all you need to do, we’ll take care of the rest!
