Planning Processing Agreements
Email (opens new window)Enquiry Form
A processing agreement is an agreed framework for processing an application. It ensures that the planning process is project managed in a clear way. Please see the Planning Processing Agreement Guidance (PDF) for more information, including how to apply.
The advantages of a processing agreement are that it can offer:
- Greater transparency for all involved in the process about how decisions are made
- Greater certainty over the timing of key stages
- Clarity about information requirements early in the process, helping early identification of the main constraints
- Clearer lines of communication
- Earlier involvement of key stakeholders such as consultees.
Please note that a processing agreement does not guarantee the grant of planning consent. Associated planning applications will be considered on their merits and against the terms of the development plan and other material considerations. The agreement should be based on a shared understanding of the key stages in the process and involve key statutory consultees as appropriate at the outset.
Early contact is encouraged, especially before a Proposal of Application notice is submitted for a Major/National application. You can apply using the Processing Agreement for Planning Applications Form (PDF).
