We offer a comprehensive pre-application advice service for highway related enquiries associated with development proposals. Fees will depend on the service requested and the scale of the development proposed.
Where pre-application advice is required for all aspects of a development proposal, and not specifically related to highways, pre-application enquiries should be addressed to the appropriate District or Borough Council or the Broads Authority.
Direct highway related pre-application advice will exclude the wider considerations associated with pre-application advice sought through District or Borough Councils or the Broads Authority. Therefore, any highway related pre-application advice should be seen as standalone advice. Further consideration will be given to advice received by other stakeholders throughout any subsequent pre-application or planning process.
If you are seeking highway related pre-application advice within East Suffolk or Ipswich you will need to apply directly through this service.
Fees, request forms and disclaimer
A formal request will need to be made and specific information submitted with the request, accompanied by the appropriate fee.
The advice provided is based on officers’ professional judgement, without prejudice, and does not bind the County Council to any course of action. It also doesn't prejudice any future decision made by the District or Borough Councils or the Broads Authority in determining any subsequent planning application that is submitted.
