The planning section of the Dover District Council website is packed full of useful information, including a pre-application advice service. The council encourages the use of this service prior to any planning application being submitted so that issues relating to design and place making are addressed at an early stage in an integrated way.
If you are the developer of a large scheme or a business looking to expand your premises, for example, the planning team can help you to understand planning policy and any need for specialist input.
This section of the council’s website is where you can also apply for permission, find out about the application process and learn more about planning fees.
