Developers on site at a building site

We work with our trading company, Lichfield West Midlands Traded Service (LWMTS) to provide pre-application support to developers bringing major and strategic applications to the district.

The team at LWMTS also process major and strategic planning applications up to the point of decision including:

  • Residential developments of 30 (or capacity for) or more dwellings.
  • Any development on major site areas where number of units is unknown.
  • Development of floorspace of 1,000 sq m or more.
  • Development on sites over 0.5 ha or more.
  • Any proposed schemes that are of a more complex nature by virtue of scale or potential significant impact, and/or present matters of strategic planning concern. 
  • Mineral extraction.
  • Waste development.

We are very keen to enter into planning performance agreements (PPA) with developers to foster positive joint working between your team and our teamand other statutory consultees - find out more.

If you choose not to enter into a PPA, we always encourage developers of strategic or major developments to engage our planning advice service at the earliest possible stage - find out more.

If you are considering delivering a strategic or major development please contact Artemis Ansell, Director of Planning & Regeneration at LDC and Lichfield West Midlands Traded Services (LWMTS) - find out more about LWMTS.
