Getting Planning Advice

Early advice

You can ask a planning officer for informal advice on your building project or listed building consent.

For general advice email: planning_enquiries@herefordshire.gov.uk or telephone: 01432 260386.

For more complex projects, Herefordshire Council operate an optional, pre-planning advice service to help ensure you are meeting local and national legislation requirements. There is a charge for this service.

The Historic Towns and Villages Forum also has a helpful publication with top tips for making better planning applications.


Find out more about pre-planning advice and associated fees via Herefordshire Council’s website.
