How to apply for planning permission
Planning permission is obtained from the council by completing the necessary application forms. It is important to make sure that you complete your planning application correctly because if the detailed information on the forms is not right then we cannot start the process and will delay a decision.
The following checklist will help:
- obtain the application forms
- fully complete the relevant parts of the forms and remember to sign and date them
- submit the correct number and type of supporting plans. Each application should be accompanied by a site plan at not less than 1:2500 scale and detailed plans, sections and elevations, where relevant
- complete a Design and Access Statement
Apply through the Planning Portal
You can apply for planning permission with the council or online through the Planning Portal.
The Planning Portal is quicker and it is cheaper because you will not need to supply multiple copies of your plans and forms.
You will also benefit from having an audit trail of the date you submitted your application as the details will be saved by the Planning Portal.

Planning application forms are public documents and all information contained on them (including personal data such as your name and address) will be available for public inspection both in the council’s offices and on this website. Disclosure of personal data may therefore be made to any person or organisation having access to the internet worldwide. Information may be disclosed to other council departments and other relevant agencies according to the council’s registration under the Data Protection Act 1998.
