Fast Track planning application service

Our Fast Track Service

The Fast Track Service speeds up the administration and review of applications and pre-application submissions. Note that the Fast Track Service will not affect the consideration of your application.  Fast track services available are:

  • validation of planning applications
  • advice on planning applications and advice requests
  • planning recommendations

Each request will be individually assessed and confirmation will be provided as to whether we can offer you the fast track service before we consider your (pre) application.  We reserve the right to refuse requests subject to resources and availability.
