How do I apply for planning permission?

To apply for planning permission, you need to complete the correct application form(s) for your proposed development, together with appropriate drawings, supporting information or statements and the correct fee.

 You can submit your application to us online, using the Make an Application service provided by the Planning Portal (external site). Using this service, you are able to complete the required forms, attach the relevant documents and pay online.

Details on which forms to use, the correct fee and drawing requirements for the different types of application are available in the Making an Application section. We strongly recommend that you check the validation checklists to ensure that all required information is being supplied before submitting your application.
