Online planning applications

This section provides information about the Planning Portal and a link to the site, where you can complete a planning application form online.

Thanks to a partnership with the government-sponsored website called the Planning Portal, the Council is able to offer you a service where you can fill in an application form from your computer.

If you click on the link at the foot of the page you will be taken to the Planning Portal website. If you have not used the Planning Portal before we strongly advise that you read this page carefully before you clicking on the link. 

Before you use the Planning Portal

Planning agents/developers

The Planning Portal and the Borough Council are holding workshops for planning agents and developers who make regular planning applications to the Council. Please email the Planning section if you would like to be included in one of these workshops.

Also, please be aware that you cannot use the Planning Portal for large scale planning applications affecting more than 10 properties. If your application concerns more than 10 properties please download application forms and send the application by post.

The General Public

Before you begin completing an online application the Council strongly recommends that you read the relevant advice about design statements, and if you are making an application relating to your home, our householder advice.

After you have completed your online form

After you have completed your online planning application, you will receive notification from Planning Portal. You will then be contacted by the Council who will email you with a few supplementary questions relating to your planning application, and provide you with your 

• planning application number and 
• payment information.       

When the Council has received a response to these supplementary questions, and your payment for the planning application, the application will become live.

Paying for your application

Please send in a cheque for the amount quoted on the Planning Portal to
