    Planning consultations

    Pre-application consultation

    Developers must consult with local communities before submitting a 'major' or 'national' development planning application. A proposal of application notice must be submitted to North Ayrshire Council, and relevant community councils. This must happen, at least 12 weeks, before submission of a planning application.

    Download a pre application screening notice from the ePlanning website. We will respond within 21 working days of receipt.

    Applicants should consult with the relevant bodies during pre-application including any local Community Councils in the area or adjoining area.

    Applicants must report on the extent of their consultation.

    The application then enters the normal notification process for 'local' developments.

    Neighbour notification and publicity

    'Local' developments don't need pre-application consultation, but enter the normal notification process involving:

    • notifying neighbours within 20 metres of the application site
    • advertisement in the local press if:

    Make representations in support of, or against, a planning application. The period for making representations is 21 days from the date of the notice.
