Take part in the Councillor Pre-application Survey


The Planning Advisory Service wants to understand the views and experiences of Councillors involvement in Planning pre-application discussions. As part of this research we would like to make sure the views of Councillors are properly represented and for this reason we have prepared this short survey aimed specifically at Councillors. 

PAS is working with the University of Gloucestershire, Countryside and Community Research Institute, and Hyas Associates Ltd on this project. 

The deadline is the 11th November at 5pm.

Take part in the survey 

If you wish to see the questions and prepare your answers before you start then you can view them on the webpage Councillor Pre-application Survey Questions.
