Independent, impartial advice and help will be offered by staff from Community Places on issues affecting people in neighbourhoods, townlands and villages. They are also available by telephone on the day at 02890 239444.

Claudine Christy from Community Places, said: “This is one in a series of free drop-in planning advice days we are providing across the region. Our professional planners will provide information and guidance on issues ranging from how to make a planning application for a new house, extension or conversion through to renewable energy technologies such as solar panels and wind turbines”.

Community Places planners will also provide advice on how to object to a planning proposal in your area, how planning deals with development that is built without planning permission and information on the changes in the planning system when planning moves to the new councils.
