Under the Prior Approval process the Local Planning Authority is only able to consider a number of defined issues, namely; highways, transport and noise impacts, risks of contamination and flooding, location and siting of the building, and the design and external appearance of the building and to ensure that the change of use is not impractical or undesirable due to its particular siting and location. If the Local Planning Authority considers the proposals to lead to significant impacts, a ‘normal’ full planning application can be required. There is no statutory consultation requirement associated with this type of application. The purpose of this correspondence is simply to ensure that you are aware that a notification has been received for the above development. It is not seeking a consultation response but if you do choose to make any comments then they should be restricted to the issues / matters listed above.
