Confirmation from the Local Planning Authority (council) that the development will meet laws and principles to maintain or enhance the visual, environmental and social aspects of the local area, covering all the aspects of how people will use the building. 

The Local Planning Authority’s appraisal prior to granting Planning Permission typically takes 8 weeks, and your neighbours are invited to comment, so early engagement with them is valuable. Alongside the drawings, we submit written documents and consultant reports to support the request.
