PPS 23 Enabling Development for the Conservation of Significant Places·Page 15·4.4
Pre-application Discussion Requirements
Developers should engage in pre-application discussions with planning authorities to assess impacts, establish required detail level, determine application type, and manage expectations.
Developers are encouraged to enter into pre-application discussions with the planning authority: to assess the impact of the enabling element of the proposed development; to establish the level of detail required; to discuss the need to submit a 'full' as opposed to 'outline' planning application; and to avoid unrealistic expectations.
