For queries regarding validation correspondence, payments or invoices, having received a neighbour notification, property naming, enforcement, application search or submission, or any other technical queries, you can contact Development Management by telephone, or by visiting the Council Offices during the hours 1000-1200 and 1400-1600 Monday to Friday.

If you require pre-application advice, enquiries should be submitted in writing. Advice cannot be provided verbally, either in person or on the telephone. Full details on how to submit pre-application advice enquiries are included in the ‘Pre-application Advice’ link by clicking on the ‘More pages in this section’ menu at the top of the page.
