Apply for Planning Permission online
The best way to apply for planning permission is to do it online through the Planning Portal.
If you are unable to apply on-line, you can download and print the Application Forms and Guidance Notes by following the links under Planning Application Forms, Guidance Notes and Checklists.
We have now switched to the new National Standard Planning Application Forms, information about 1APP forms is held here, so please make sure you use either the on-line application method, or the forms linked at the bottom of this page.
We will not be able to accept applications on older versions of the Application Form.
Making a Planning Application
You will save a considerable amount of time by ensuring you complete the application forms fully and provide all the necessary plans and supporting documents referred to in the Guidance Notes relevant to your application.
Before making your application ensure that you have included all the necessary documentation, 4 copies of each are required, and the appropriate fee. You can use the Planning Portal online Fee Calculator, or view our fee sheet (PDF, 112Kb). You can download the application forms, the accompanying Guidance Notes and application Checklists, including our local requirements from the Planning Application Forms, Guidance Notes and Checklists at the bottom of this page.
Our downloadable Local Validation Requirements document (PDF, 305Kb) provides anyone submitting a planning application with detailed guidance on the type of information required.
The downloadable Annex B (PDF, 75Kb) of the downloadable Local Validation Requirements document (PDF, 305Kb) contains a glossary of our local requirements detailing in what circumstances additional documentaion is required.
All of the national requirements listed in the checklist must be satisfied when an application is submitted. As it is not possible to identify the local requirements for every type of development proposal, it is recommended that applicants consult the Local Validation Requirements document (PDF, 305Kb) for information or contact the District Council before making an application.
Failure to provide all of the information needed to satisfy the national and relevant local requirements will invalidate the application and it will be returned to you.
Anyone is allowed to make a planning application in respect of any land or buildings and they do not have to own the freehold or have any other ownership interest in that land.
However the applicant is required to give notice of the planning application to any person who on the prescribed date (i.e. 21 days before the date of the application) is the owner or tenant of the land or building in question. See forms below:
Form for notification of Householder applications:
Householder development application Article 6 notice
Form for notification of other types of application:
Agricultural and other development application notice
In the event that the owner is not known to the applicant, an advert based upon the forms above should be placed in a local newspaper.
The applicant should also ensure that the appropriate notification has been carried out on the planning application forms (Certificate A, B, C or D).
If you are not sure which Application Form you need, please contact Planning team using one of the methods below.
Alternatively, you can use the choose and print form section on the Planning Portal which enables you to find and print the correct form, so you can submit your application on paper. If you know which form you need you can access it from the links listed below.
