| Make an Online Planning Application
The Council works in partnership with the Planning Portal to provide a facility for the online completion of planning applications. The system allows planning applications to be completed online, for the relevant plans to be attached, the fee paid electronically and then for the whole package to be lodged without the need for document and plan printing by the applicant.
If you would like to submit your application electronically, you can use the "Apply Online via the Portal" link on the left-hand side of this page. The Planning Portal website provides detailed information about preparing and then submitting your application.
Application Forms
If you are not able to submit your planning application electronically, you may download the appropriate form from the list below. In addition to the application forms, you will also find the relevant help files and validation checklists for each type of application. Please note that the Council may not be able to register your application if it is not accompanied by the items on the checklist. If you are unsure of the requirements, please call 01727 819344 or 819345.
Validation checklists
Difference types and scale of application require different levels of information and supporting documentation. The Council has therefore produced a validation checklist
tailored to each different type of application. The requirements specified by Local Planning Authorities comprise a national core list and additional items specified locally. After a period of formal consultation, the Council approved and adopted the validation checklists in April 2008.
It is important that you supply all the information required or the Council will not be able to validate your application. Where an application is not accompanied by information required by the planning authority, applicants should provide a written justification with the application as to why it is not appropriate in the particular circumstances. If you have any questions regarding requirements in the validation checklist for your application, please call our planning technicians on 01727 8192344 or 8192345.
