A valid pre-application enquiry must contain a completed application form, location plan drawn
to a recognised scale with the direction North identifying the land to which the application
relates and a statutory application fee. Without payment of the appropriate fee and submission
of the above the Local Planning Authority will not be able to process your enquiry. Further
information on the fees regulations can be found on the following link:
http://www.conwy.gov.uk/en/Resident/Planning-Building-Control-and-Conservation/Planning-Applications/
assets/documents/Pre-Application-Statutory-Enquiries-Fees.pdf
The regulations require Local Planning Authorities to provide a written response to all valid pre-application
enquiries within 21 days of receipt, unless an extension of time is agreed between the Local Planning
Authority and applicant. As a minimum, you should expect to receive the following information as part of
the written response: the relevant planning history of the site; the relevant development plan policies
against which the development proposal will be assessed; relevant supplementary planning guidance (i.e.
design, conservation etc.); other material planning considerations and an initial assessment of the
proposed development, based on the above / information submitted as well as whether any Section 106 or
Community Infrastructure Levy contributions are likely to be sought and an indication of the scope and
amount of these contributions. The Town and Country Planning (Pre-Application Services) (Wales)
