Planning advice service

We have launched a new planning advice portal. You have to register to use this service.

We provide a range of information about:

• common projects
• conservation area maps
• other issues such as Article 4 areas

If you require further guidance, you can use our planning advice service.   

We will soon begin charging for written responses to general enquiries.

If we think it's needed, we'll make an appointment to see you within 10 working days of getting your request. After this planning advice meeting, we will provide written advice within 20 working days (excluding our express services).

To find out more about our services, or to book an appointment, please see the relevant pages in this section.

Other sources of planning advice

You can find a range of information and advice about common proposals, from our advice for common projects pages.

Alternatively, you can seek planning advice from a range of other providers, such as local architects, or Planning Aid England.

The Environment Agency can provide planning advice on various matters, such as flood risk:
