Planning applications

Do I need planning permission?

You can find out what permission(s) you need (planning permission or building regulations approval) on the Planning Portal website. You can view planning and building regulations information for many common householder projects and find out what permissions you may (or may not) need to do the works. You will also find useful case histories and information on your responsibilities :

• Planning Portal building works website - refer to the 'common projects' to find out what permissions you may need (www.planningportal.gov.uk/england/public/buildingwork/projects/)

If you are uncertain or wish to discuss a planning application that you wish to make please contact Planning Services.

Once you have found out what permission(s) you need use the following link(s) :

• Making a planning application
