If you'd like advice from a planning officer about the likelihood of getting planning permission for your project, we offer a preliminary planning advice service. There is a fee to use this service.

This service should not be used to ask if planning permission is required.
Email your pre-application advice request to planning@rutland.gov.uk, and include:
- the site address
- a description of your proposed development (including a location and site plan)
- your name, address, phone number and email address
- the type of planning application proposed (for example full, outline, listed building, approval of reserved matters, details required by a planning condition)
- whether you need a meeting to get pre-application advice (an additional charge may apply)
- details and dates of any previous planning applications or pre-application discussions
- a list of documents and plans you've submitted with your request - if possible, you should include a statement to justify your proposals with reference to national planning policy and local planning policy and guidance - site layout, elevations, details existing landscape features, for example
- details of any consultation you've carried out or propose to carry out with statutory, non-statutory or community organisations
- the fee amount you've paid
If your request is straightforward, we'll send you a written response within 6 weeks. If you request is more complex, we will aim to send a response within 10 weeks as for some more complex enquiries, we may need to speak to external organisations first.
