People who want advice about expanding their property or undertaking a
development project in Hull can get help at a planning surgery later this
month.

The sixth planning surgery from Hull City Council will give people help and
advice about any development proposals. This could range from getting
assistance with their planning application to finding out what the building
regulations process entails and any associated highways matters.

People from the council's planning team - including building control,
development control and highways development control - will be on hand to
talk people through the development process and answer any questions or
concerns.

Alex Codd, city planning manager, said: "The surgeries are open to anyone,
whether it's their first planning application or whether they are a frequent
developer who is just a little uncertain about any planning matters. We
understand that the process is a bit daunting, which is why we are hosting
monthly surgeries to help make the process more understandable.

"People can also find out more about the 'dos' and 'don'ts' of applying for
planning permission from officers who deal with planning applications on a
daily basis."

The next session will take place on Tuesday 29 September from 4.30pm - 6pm
on 2nd floor, Kingston House, Bond Street.

To book a place at the planning surgery contact 300300. Alternatively people
may drop in on the day but a place will not be guaranteed.
