Bespoke Planning Performance Agreement service

We offer a bespoke Pre-Application Advice service through a Planning Performance Agreement (PPA).

A PPA uses a project-managed planning services that works to agreed timescales and standards. Our PPAs are a proactive and beneficial way of working with us to achieve a high quality development. The benefits of a PPA are:

  • An agreed timeline and structure of deadlines and action points
  • A commitment to provide specialist input from internal consultees which can include attendance at meetings
  • Inclusion of a Senior Member of the Development Management team in the process
  • Presentation of the scheme to the relevant Committee Councillors
  • A high standard of customer service

While PPAs do not guarantee the granting of planning permission, they do provide an opportunity to act on any potential issues before a final decision is made
