How To Make a Planning Application

Once you know that you need planning permission for work that you want to carry out, you must decide what type of application you should make.

We will provide you with the forms that you need and tell you about the application fee and the drawings that you must provide. We will also provide you with guidance notes to help you with making your planning application.

The information in these pages will help you to make an application. We will be happy to speak to you at our office reception, or on the telephone, to explain our procedures.

A planning permission is an important document and it is important that your application, including plans, is complete and accurate so that the Council can understand what you are proposing and assess it fully.
