Get planning advice
The best place to find advice depends on what you want to find out:
| What you want to find out | Where to get advice |
|---|---|
| Do I need planning permission? | Find out about permitted development rights |
| What type of planning application do I need to make? | Check the Planning Portal (opens new window) |
| What information should I submit? | Check the Planning Portal and our Local Validation List |
| Feedback on your plans before making a formal application | Apply for pre-application advice |
| Large scale new developments in Guildford | Get advice from our Design Review Panel |
We recommend you hire a professional planning consultant when you make an application. They can:
- give advice about the work you want to do
- draw up plans which you'll need for a successful application
Our pre-application advice service can also help you to make a successful application.
