Pre-application advice
If planning permission is required for your proposed development, our pre-application advice service will give you a steer on whether you are likely to be successful with your planning application before it is submitted.
If we believe your application is unlikely to be successful, we can offer advice on how issues with the application can be overcome. This can save you time and money by enabling potential issues to be identified and resolved before the application is submitted.

Unit 1 of the Upper Nene Valley Gravel Pits Special Protection Area (SPA) is in West Northamptonshire. If your development is within 3km of Unit 1 of the SPA, you will need to pay a Strategic Access Management and Monitoring (SAMM) fee. To find out more see our Supplementary Planning Documents.
