Planning potential review

A desk review of what you could do with one house or site, before you spend money on design.

What you get

• The designations at the address: conservation area, listed building, Article 4 directions, flood zone, National Landscape or National Park.
• The planning history: earlier applications, conditions that remove permitted development rights, refusals, appeals, enforcement and certificates.
• The permitted development position for what you want to do.
• The likely planning route, with the council's fee and the statutory timescale.
• The main risks, and what would need a site visit or a specialist to settle.
• A short written note that sets all of this out.

What we need from you

The address, what you want to achieve, a few photographs, and any drawings or documents you already hold.

How it works

The review is done from the council's records and national data, without a visit. If the answer depends on the building itself, the site appraisal adds a visit and option sketches.

The fee depends on the site and is confirmed in writing before we start.
