Submit your application

Submit your planning application online via the Planning Portal.

Registration is quick and easy. You can:

  • Save your application and return to it later;
  • Submit and pay for your application online at any time;
  • Attach all supporting documents and plans;
  • Secure, online record and audit trail of all your applications.

You will first be asked for some basic details and then be able to choose the application type (for example, Householder, Advertisement consent, Discharge of conditions (approval of details reserved by condition); full, outline etc).

There is step-by-step advice for each type of application form. Your application, and the documents you submit, will be immediately sent to the Council.

You can also choose to download the application forms and post the completed application to the address at the top of the form.

Applications submitted by post will take longer to review than online applications.
