To get the best possible advice from us, you should make sure you:
- identify a single point of contact within your team (usually the applicant, a planning consultant or an architect)
- keep to agreed timescales and deadlines for providing responses to us
For larger proposals, you should also:
- arrange public engagement early in scheme development: use specialist consultants when needed
- agree a schedule of meetings
- make sure all the information we need is prepared ahead of the meetings including presentations to the council’s design review panel
- provide high-quality illustrations suitable for presentation to a wide range of audiences
- provide draft notes of meetings
