After you apply

Once we receive your application we will:

  • publish the notice on our website.

This is so that the public and neighbouring businesses have the opportunity to make representations about the application.

  • Staffordshire County Council (the Highway Authority).
  • Staffordshire Police.
  • Staffordshire Fire & Rescue.
  • Lichfield District Council (inculding environmental health, planning and conservation teams).
  • Lichfield City Council (if in the city centre).
  • Lichfield Civic Society (if in the city centre).
  • Ward councillors.
  • Any other relevant people or organisations.
