Planning service pre–application advice note
Slough Borough Council is well connected to London and the rest of the country and needs to accommodate the population and business growth at the same time as providing the best environment for existing and future residents and workers.
As a service, we welcome and encourage discussions before a planning application is submitted. Pre-application advice will generally give more certainty at an earlier stage and help resolve issues so that speedier planning decisions can be made.
By charging a fee for this service we can allocate more resources to this important early stage of the process and be able to provide good advice from officers. We know from experience that developers and applicants generally welcome and benefit from using such a service as this allows them to make informed decisions when considering their development proposals.
