Pre-application advice
From 1 October 2020, due to a significant backlog of work that has built up due to the Covid-19 lockdown, we'll be unable to offer verbal or written pre-application planning advice for most developments. Exceptions will be made for major developments and those promoting significant economical benefit and job opportunities. In such a case, email your enquiry to planning@eastrenfrewshire.gov.uk.
We apologise to customers for any inconvenience that this causes and we aim to restore the service as soon as possible.
All planning applications are decided in accord with the policies contained in the Local Development Plan (LDP), unless there are material planning considerations that indicate otherwise.
There's also guidance contained in the Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG). For example, if you're proposing a house extension, then the Householder Design Guide is relevant. If you're proposing a development and want to see what policies apply and how your application will be assessed, then please read the relevant parts of these documents.
The LDP and SPG can be found in the 'Related articles' section of this web page.
The Householder Design Guide can be found in the 'Related media' section of this web page.
