A strategic development is any application with provision of 100 dwellings or more, a residential development with the number of dwellings unknown or provision of 10,000 square meres or more of floor space for other uses.
For major applications, we encourage applicants to use a Planning Performance Agreement – For such sites if a PPA is not considered required we will provide a bespoke quote based upon the likely complexity and time required to provide a response. The baseline price is as indicated. Such fees will include technical specialists but should any external reports be required applicants will be expected to pay for these (before they are commissioned – with fees to be agreed).
Comprehensive advice that may require the input of a number of officers. It is sometimes not necessary to hold a meeting or to carry out a site visit and attendance at a site visit or a meeting will be at the discretion of the Council.
The response will consist of a written and where appropriate verbal feedback at a meeting prior to the issuance of the response.
