Planning

Planning online

All new applications are available to view online, plus the associated documents and plans, including decision notices. This applies to all planning applications made since 1 April 2003, for applications made before that date paper copies are available. From September 2007 all personal information is redacted prior to scanning and not published online.

It is also possible for you to comment on current planning applications online. Click here to access the Planning Applications Online  facility.

If you are making a comment on a planning application please include your full name and address so we can respond if necessary.

This area also contains online forms to enable you to make online building regulation applications.
