How to apply
Complete the Advice request form (RTF 149KB) on CD. Then return it to the address given on the form, along with any supporting information. Within five working days we will let you know if your application is suitable for pre-application advice.
If you're accepted, you'll have to pay a fee. All the income we get goes into improving our service.
Fees
- £2,300 (plus VAT) for the first meeting
- £800 (plus VAT) for follow-up meetings
All fees are non-refundable.
Attending meetings
Once your fees are paid, we'll organise a meeting with you. This should happen within 20 days. Your TfL case officer will normally be there.
Depending on your case, other TfL specialists could come to the meeting. We'll also invite a council officer unless you ask us not to.
There will usually be a site visit before the meeting takes place.
What meetings cover
The meeting is likely to cover:
- The location and public transport
- Parking
- Effect on traffic
- Public transport, pedestrians and cycles
- Construction and servicing
- Travel plan
- Planning obligations/S106
If we don't need to do any further research, we will send you a detailed advice letter within ten working days of the meeting. This will outline any major transport planning issues and any requirements we've agreed.
Our advice
Your advice letter comes from the Head of Land Use Planning. It is never a response to any planning application.
Any views or opinions are given in good faith. They relate solely to transport issues.
The degree of detail in our letter will depend on the quality of information you give us in the first place.
