Applications

You can use the Planning Portal to download planning applications submitted to your local authority electronically.

Local authorities can choose to download entire applications as zip files or view and download individual forms or attachments as required.

Fee calculator

The Portal’s fee calculator allows you to accurately calculate the planning fees (including reductions) of an application.

Launch the fee calculator (opens in a new window).
