I would definitely call first for an appointment - I doubt they would meet you without one.
I remember when I went for permission for a house they weren't very forthcoming with suggestions or advice, they just kept saying I wouldn't get an "urban" house style granted. They kept sending me to the document I linked and the supplementary guidance documents. They were reluctant to discuss plans until a formal planning application had been made.
I never myself, but I do know you can apply for pre-planning advice for what they will allow on your plot. This is a lot cheaper that planning in principle or a full planning application, but also a lot more vague.
Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; Nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first.
