Planning Applications

These pages will provide you with advice on all aspects of the planning application process including:

• Whether you need planning permission
• How to apply
• How to comment on applications we’ve received
• How we deal with planning applications
• Will I get planning permission
• Planning Applications: Consultation

We also cover what an applicant can do if you don’t agree with the decision we’ve made on your application in our Planning Appeals section, and what we can do if someone is doing something without planning permission in our Planning Enforcement section.

The Development Control team deals with all these areas of work and can be contacted for further advice.

Development Control does not control how a building or extension is constructed.  There is a separate system of Building Regulations to deal with this.  Our Building Services team can help.
