Preliminary Enquiries - Business
Advice before making applications
If you want to know whether you require planning permission or not you can fill out our Business Enquiry Form.
The advice given will be accurate and objective but will be
without prejudice to the formal consideration of an application by
the council. We will give you information about relevant planning
policies and previous decisions and, where appropriate, our
standards for such matters as parking provision, amenity space etc.
We will also advise you about the likely time-scale for dealing
with a planning application and the procedures to follow.
Peterborough City Council encourage pre-application
discussions. The Duty Planning Officer is available from
Monday-Friday 9am-5pm to discuss your initial ideas or proposed
application. Alternatively, put your ideas in a letter and we will
reply within 10-14 working days.
