We aim to respond to pre-application enquiries within a set timescale.
Meetings and onsite visits
For meetings and site visits (in the specific case of ECC Place Services Heritage), the Case Officer will make contact with you to arrange a suitable date that is convenient for you.
We will do everything we can to offer a meeting date shortly after the pre-application has been validated, and we will offer as many alternative dates as possible. Please do also make contact with the Case Officer to provide some dates that are suitable for you in the event that the Case Officer has not already made contact with you.
Following the virtual meeting, we will provide you with a written response within the timescales as outlined within the table below:
