using the national Planning Portal (attach plans & documents, log in/out and submit whenever you are ready, and get step by step guidance), or from the Planning Portal (to print and submit by post or hand).
Not sure which form to use? See on the Planning Portal
Whichever method you choose you need to submit one form which covers all your requirements e.g. householder planning consent with conservation area consent. The Portal will guide you to the correct form.

2. Plans, drawings and supporting documents
Planning Application Requirements is a list of the drawings and supporting documentation you must submit with your application to make it valid. You may need to refer to multiple lists depending on your application type e.g. list for householder development plus list for conservation area consent.
If you don’t have electronic documents to attach to an online application you can still complete the application form online. You can then submit some or all the supporting documents and fee by post or by hand to the address at the top of the form. The Planning Portal will guide you through the process.
