Decision process
Coronavirus update – Planning Service – 8th December 2021
Our offices at Eastburn are now open however our planning team are continuing to work from home. They can still be contacted via email planning@nnpa.org.uk. If you are submitting a new application we recommend that you do so electronically through the planning portal website. There may be a hold up with planning applications received by post or paid for by cheque.
Due to the current blended working pattern there may be a delay in receiving any letters or documents sent by post therefore if possible please send any correspondence to planning@nnpa.org.uk.
We are continuing to progress pre-application enquiries but can only accept online BACS payment (details on request). We would also appreciate the submission of site photographs so that our officers do not need to visit your property.
