Householder Duty Planner Service

This service is available only by telephone between 10am and 1pm Monday, Wednesday and Thursday only. The Duty Planner will not be available outside of these times. 

A Planning Officer will be available to answer queries on current planning applications, offer informal guidance on potential householder planning applications, and other planning-related queries for free.  Please note that the Duty Planner can only offer informal advice on small scale/householder developments such as extensions and no site visits or written responses will be available from this service. The Duty Service is not available to offer pre-application advice on larger scale developments, this is subject to our Pre-Application service.

You can contact the Duty Planner by phone on 01923 776611 (see above hours).

Please note that due to staff training there will be no duty planning officer service on Wednesday 14 September.

Such views are the personal opinion of that officer and are not a formal decision of, nor binding on, the Local Planning Authority.
