You will act as a local authority planning officer and prepare a pre-application advice
report for a developer who is seeking planning advice on the proposed redevelopment of
a site in the London Borough of Camden. Your report will outline the stages involved in
submitting and processing the planning application, explain the relevant planning policy
(stick to Camden Local Policy), highlight any other planning considerations that might be
relevant, and give an opinion the likelihood of receiving planning permission for the
development as proposed by the developer.
The coursework should be written as a letter to the developer on the attached pre-
application template which is in the assessment folder, however you may wish to break
the letter down by headings in order to relay the required information and answer the
questions. This is a formal letter written on behalf of the council, so your writing style
should express professionalism and be helpful to the developer in terms of their questions
which you will find on the cover letter within the Coursework 2 folder.
Whilst it is up to you to decide how the letter is formatted, some suggested headings may
consist of the following:
•
Site Description;
•
Proposal;
•
The application process;
•
Relevant Policies;
Page 2
• Material Considerations
An opinion on the acceptability of the scheme based upon the information given to you.
Are there any suggestions which may assist the scheme?
