Where do I get help?
Many people do not feel confident to lodge their own applications or prepare plans etc. Council officers are available to give advice on procedures and regulations relating to applications, but they do not provide a design consultancy service.

There are many sources of private professional assistance. These include architects, building designers, builders, surveyors, planning consultants, engineers etc.

If you do not feel competent to prepare your own application you should engage professional assistance.  This may add to your costs but will reduce delays and frustration and can sometimes avoid refusal of your application.

Planning & Development Development Applications

Developing land can be a complex process. Before preparing an application you need to be fully aware of the limitations of the site and any regulations that may affect your proposal. This analysis must be completed prior to the development of your proposal. This process will also help to determine what type of supporting material is required. The attached matrix will assist you with this. Armed with this information, you can then prepare your application.
