Development Team Meeting (DTM)

For any Minor or Major pre application submitted, the agent/applicant can request a Development Team Meeting (DTM) which are held virtually via MS Teams. 

At the DTM, the agent/applicant presents a short summary of the proposal to a panel of planning officers, and other specialists with an interest in the proposal. Relevant consultees will be present (as determined by the Local Planning Authority) as well as the planning case officer and manager. After the DTM, the agent/applicant will receive a written copy of the meeting minutes. Please note, site visits are not carried out for any type of pre application. 

The DTM fee is in addition to the pre application fee, unless the pre application is a large scale major of 200+ dwellings where the DTM fee is included within the pre application fee.
