Who can make the application?

You can apply yourself, or appoint an agent to apply on your behalf (usually an architect, solicitor or builder). If you use an agent, all correspondence will be sent directly to them.  You don't actually need to own the land or property to apply for planning permission for it. 

Do I need to notify the owner(s)?

Certain applications require you to serve a notice on the owner or other co-owners of the property at least 21 days before you submit the application to us.  Further guidance and links to the notices are provided in the application form help text; you are advised to read this thoroughly.  

Before you apply

We advise you to read our Local Planning Guidance Notes which offer detailed guidance on good building design, conversion of rural buildings, parking standards, sustainable drainage and much more.  In addition, the 97色网 Local Development Plan provides the basis for making planning decisions and planning officers will refer to it to ensure your proposal is in accordance with the policies described within it.  By ensuring your proposed works comply with this guidance you will improve the quality of your application.

What do I need to submit?

1.  Application form

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.

For help calculating the volume of buildings enter the measurements into the Planning Portal .

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.

Ordnance Survey location and block plans (required for most applications) can be purchased from our Geographic Information Service or online with your Planning Portal application.
