How Pre-Application Advice Works In Kirkintilloch

Kirkintilloch’s planning team charges for pre-application advice, the exact fee depends on scale, but the real point is catching problems before they cost far more as a refused full application.

Handled properly, a Kirkintilloch pre-app submission and the eventual full application aren’t two separate jobs. One set of drawings does both, which is exactly where the genuine saving comes from.

Every Kirkintilloch submission includes genuine research into what actually applies locally, conservation area status, an Article 4 direction, listed building considerations, whatever’s relevant to that specific site.
