Planning applications
Find out if you need planning permission, how to make a planning application and what to do to look at applications in your area.
Due to the pressure of current workloads, ongoing difficulties with staff recruitment and the need to prioritise the determination of planning applications, we have had to change the way the general public access our services. This means that we do not have any professional planning officers available on the telephone to answer general queries from members of the public. As an alternative, we do have: We can investigate reports about work that may have been carried out without permission. You can report a possible breach of planning regulations to us. We continue to offer a full pre-application advice service if you are planning on submitting a planning application. Find out how to request pre-application advice. There is a charge for using this service.
