Planning Services

A Full Plans submission requires you to provide a detailed set of plans together with a specification of the works and materials to be used, together with any necessary structural and/or other calculations.

When making a Full Plans application you should include the Application forms, two copies of the drawings and if applicable necessary calculations, together with the appropriate fees.

We will acknowledge your application within five working days, letting you know if for any reason it is incomplete. The normal statutory time limit for dealing with your Full Plans application is five weeks. This can be extended to a maximum eight weeks with you agreement.

When we have checked your proposals we will either approve your application or notify you of any alterations that may be required to the plans. When these have been received and found to be satisfactory the application is approved. We will only reject your application if at the end of the statutory time limit it shows major contraventions of the Building Regulations.
