PLANNING

INFORMATION

What’s this all about?

A planning application can be a complex process and you need to have several documents ready before you can complete the application form alone. You need the necessary architectural plans and mandatory national and local documentation.

Once submitted your local planning authority will check the application and make it public to give other people the opportunity to comment on it if they want to.

After this consultation the council will decide whether your application is approved or refused.

You should only start your building work after you get confirmation from the council saying that you have planning permission.

If your permission is refused, you should talk to the planning authority to find out why. You can then amend your application and send it in again. As a last resort, if you think the authority's decision is unreasonable, you may wish to consider appealing to the Secretary of State.
