Planning Application Forms

We encourage the use of online planning applications through the Planning Portal, the Portal makes sure that you have provided the correct information and that your application is valid. Please ensure you use the relevant "Checklist", which will list the information we need before submitting the application. 

This is an easy step by step procedure, however should you have problems with this you can contact the Planning Portal for help or contact the Planning Support Officers on 01386 565565.

If you are unsure as to whether your development requires planning permission, visit our Planning Advice and Guidance page to submit an enquiry or request pre-application advice.

The application will then be checked to ensure we have received all the necessary plans and documentation to determine the application, once this has been done an acknowledgement of your application will be sent either by email or by post.
