Guernsey Streamlines Pre-Application Planning Advice

Guernsey’s Development Control team has launched a new, more streamlined procedure for providing pre-application planning advice. 

The pre-application service, which is free of charge, provides advice and guidance prior to the submission of a planning application on all types of development such as exemptions queries, larger scale projects such as replacement dwellings and works to protected buildings. 

Under the new process, pre-application enquiries will be required to submit certain details up front to allow officers to provide a more useful and in-depth response to applicants. 

While meetings with Planning Officers will still be available, these will be tailored to the kind of complex schemes that require more in-depth advice at the initial stage.
