During the Coronavirus Pandemic, we have temporarily extended our neighbour consultation period for all Major* planning applications to 28 days.
We will also continue to accept letters of representation on all planning applications up until a decision is made. However, please note that where a planning application will be reported to the Planning Committee, please ensure that any additional letters to be submitted are received by the Planning Case Officer and planningdm@spelthorne.gov.uk no later than 10am on the day of the Committee meeting.
Thank you
Planning Development Management

Planning Enforcement and Planning Officer site visits will only be carried out where it is considered absolutely essential by the officers and only where Covid 19 safety guidelines can be strictly adhered to. The final decision on this rests with the Planning Development Manager and Principal Planning Officers.
We will endeavour to respond to your enquiry as soon as possible.
Planning Development Management will endeavour to continue to provide pre-application advice. However, this will be in written form and electronic meetings only. No face to face meetings will take place at the present time.
There will be no external face to face meetings taking place in connection with any planning development matter at the present time.
