Planning applications

Submitting a planning application

Online applications

You can now make your planning application online through the Planning Portal using the standard application form. The standard planning application form replaces all existing types of planning application forms.

The new forms make the application process easier by asking standard questions and the comprehensive notes offer guidance and help at every stage.

We recommend you use the Planning Portal, the UK Government's online planning and building regulations service to submit your application on-line.

Paper applications

If you are unable or prefer not to use the Planning Portal to submit your application, download the standard planning application forms and notes to print and post.

If you are going to submit a planning application please read the guidance notes carefully

We also offer lots of help and advice
