Hi,
I currently looking to buy a site in west Waterford to build a family home and I’ve a few queries on the planning side of things.
First of all, can I arrange a meeting with a planning officer just to discuss what areas would be looked on favourably for my planning requirements? Or do I need to have a specific site in mind. If I do need to have a specific site, do I need to have a sale agreed (subject to planning) on the site, for the planning officer to meet with me.
Sorry about all the questions but I finding it very hard to get the information together.
Last question; do I need to have a percolation test on the site before applying for full planning permission only (I intend to look for outline planning first).
So if anybody out there has had a meeting with a Planning Officer before buying a site to discuss options available to them, I'd appreciate hearing how this was acheived.
