My takings from a pre application meeting this week: Attending a pre-planning application meeting with the council can be a strategic move, especially for complex or unique projects. Personally, even if it is not a pre-application meeting, From the outset, I try to engage the council I am working with on most of my projects, even the smaller ones like converting a C3 (A single dwelling) to a C4 dwelling (which is a planning use class for houses in multiple occupation - HMOs) Here are a few main advantages and disadvantages to help you decide if attending a pre-planning application meeting is right for you. Advantages 1. Early Feedback: You receive early input on your proposal, giving you a sense of how likely it is to gain approval. The council can highlight potential issues, helping you address them before submitting a formal application. 2. Cost and Time Savings: Addressing issues early can reduce the likelihood of delays or rejections, saving you both time and money on resubmissions or modifications. With their input, it will help the planning application. 3. Clarity on Requirements: The council can provide guidance on specific requirements, such as design standards, environmental impact assessments, and other compliance issues. This can help ensure the application aligns with local regulations and policies. 4. Relationship Building: A pre-application meeting allows you to establish a rapport with the council’s planning officers. This can make the approval process smoother and give you access to valuable insights on the council’s priorities and expectations. 5. Greater Certainty: Although not legally binding, feedback from the council can give you a better understanding of the chances of your application’s success. Disadvantages 1. Cost of the Meeting: Many councils charge a fee for pre-planning meetings. This can be an extra upfront cost that might feel unnecessary, especially if the project seems straightforward. 2. No Guaranteed Outcome: Feedback from a pre-application meeting is non-binding, meaning the final decision could still differ. While you may get insights, there’s no guarantee that following them will lead to approval. 3. Risk of Over-Disclosure: During these meetings, you may disclose project details that could be considered commercially sensitive. Although councils are generally discreet, there’s a chance that competitive or strategic information could become known to others. 4. Possible Red Tape: Some councils might offer lengthy lists of requirements to address in the application, which could complicate the process. This can make the project more complex and potentially raise costs. 5. Time Investment: Preparing for and attending a pre-planning meeting requires a commitment of time and resources. Especially if the meeting doesn’t lead to actionable guidance.
