Advice on making a planning application

 

Validation Checklist

 

How Decisions are Made

Most applications are determined by the Chief Planning Officer. The larger or potentially more controversial applications are determined by the Planning Committee.

 

Planning applications will be assessed against national and local planning policies. 

Major Applications

(Defined as 10 or more dwellings, site area is 0.5 hectares or more, or where new floorspace exceeds 1000 square metres)

 

Pre-Application Consultation

Developers must submit a Pre Application Consultation (PAC) report for any “major” development.

 

Detailed guidance can be found on the Welsh Government website Section 17 of the Planning Wales Act 2015

 

To assist developers in undertaking consultations, a list of all Town and Community Councils can be found here, Ward Members here and Specialist Consultees here. 

 

The Council can assist developers in hosting information for their Pre-Application Consultation if they make a formal request for Pre-Application advice.

 

Notification of Commencement of Development

When a developer wishes to commence their major  development, they must complete and submit a ‘Notification of initiation of development’ form. 

 

In addition, a site notice and location plan must be displayed at the development from the date the development commences.

 

Please Note: When making a planning application, the forms, plans and supporting information will be available to the public.
