Request discretionary planning advice

You can use this form to request advice under our charged Discretionary Planning Advice Service (DPA service). We recommend that before you use this service, you make use of our free pre-application service and familiarise yourself with the guidance that is available on our website.

The “Guide to our pre-application service for development planning” explains in more detail what is covered by our DPA service. By submitting this form to NRW, you agree to the Terms & Conditions for the use of this service. These Terms & Conditions can be found on our website.

We will aim to provide you with a cost estimate for the work within 21 days of receiving this form. You will need to provide the information set out in section 5, as well as any other relevant information, before we can produce a cost estimate for you. Please allow at least 30 working days for the work to start, from the date on which you return the form.

If you decide to make use of the service, you will need to return a signed copy of the quotation to NRW. You will not have entered into a contract for the provision of the service until we have received this.

You should be advised that, in addition to planning permission, it is your responsibility to ensure that you secure all other permits and consents that are relevant to your development. NRW also offer a pre-application service for advice on certain types of permits and licences. More information can be found on our website.
