Officers are now carrying out site visits subject to complying with Government instructions and the Council’s own Risk Assessment process. Where site visits cannot be made, officers will continue to use site photos/ videos in order to make decisions.
The Pre Application Service will reopen from Monday 20 July 2020. Pre-Application requests will only be accepted from Monday 20 July 2020. The paid Duty Officer Enquiries will be answered by email only for the foreseeable future.
