Planning applications

 

The Planning Portal is the Government’s official planning website. Every local authority in England and Wales accepts planning applications via the Planning Portal.

There are many benefits to creating and submitting applications online. Our online service can be used to complete applications for consents including:

• planning permission
• lawful development certificates
• listed building consent
• conservation area consent

Benefits include:

• Online application is straightforward and secure. The online process guides you through applications with help available at each stage.
• Save your work and break away at any time. When you return to the application your previous entries will be waiting for you.
• Save on costs of paper and postage when making copies of your application and supporting documents - and cut your carbon footprint at the same time. Portal users confirm that submitting online saves on average more than £100 per application.
