Apply for planning permission

We're receiving a high volume of planning applications and enquiries. It may take longer than the statutory 8 or 13 weeks to determine your application. When applying for permission and planning works, you will need to factor this in. We may contact you to extend the time to deal with your application. We're working hard to reduce the backlog. You can find out about the improvements we've made to our planning performance. Thank you for your patience. 

You can make your planning application using the Planning Portal. Make sure you register an account when you make your application. You cannot track or make changes to your application without making an account.

Due to coronavirus restrictions, we cannot always conduct site inspections at present. If your application requires a site inspection, our decision making process may be delayed.
