Make an Application On-line

We would encourage you to use the Planning Portal (the UK Government's online planning and building regulations service) to submit your application on-line. The Portal allows you to complete a planning application form on-line and attach your drawings. You can also buy site maps and calculate the planning fee using the on-line fee calculator.

Make an Application On Paper

If you would rather send your application by post, you can use the Portal to create it on-line, then print it out and send it to us.

From 6th April 2008 all planning applications must be submitted on the new national 1APP forms. These forms are designed to make the application process easier by asking standard questions. Comprehensive notes offer guidance and help at every stage.

1APP Logo

If you are unable or prefer not to use the Planning Portal to submit your application, you can download the 1APP planning application forms and notes by visiting the Planning and Building Control Forms page. These forms are not fully interactive and you will need to print them out in order to fill them in. They can then be posted to us together with drawings and other appropriate documents.
