Free Planning Advice for People and Communities
Our next drop-in planning advice outreach session will be held on Tuesday, 3 March 2026 in East Belfast Community Development Agency’s office at 55 Templemore Avenue, Belfast.
Our Planning Advice Service is part-funded by the Department for Infrastructure and enables us to provide free, confidential, impartial planning advice to people and communities who cannot afford to pay a private consultant.
The advice session will run from 11.00 am to 3.00 pm – it would be helpful if you could call us in advance to make an appointment (on 9023 9444). We can give advice on:
- how the planning system works;
- what stage your Local Development Plan is at;
- whether or not you need planning permission;
- how to comment on a proposal that may impact on your home or community; and
- your council’s decision-making process.
If you’re not able to drop in to EBCDA on the day, you can also contact us for advice by telephone (on 9023 9444) or by email hello@communityplaces.info.
