application is complete with the correct address, fees and plan if
requested.

council officer is legally responsible except for negligence.
This service willnormally take approximately twenty working
days for relatively simple cases, but can take longer when more
complicated circumstances exist. Alternatively, plans are
available for inspection at ouroffice during normal working
hours.
