We understand that the planning application
process can be confusing, so we have provided you with all relevant
information you need in this page.
The rules are changing with effect from the 1 October 2008 and
in order to explain these new rules the planning portal have
produced an
interactive house which will explain what
building
works will require planning permission and which ones are
permitted development.
We offer advice on whether
you need planning
permission, how to submit a
valid
planning application and on submitting
appeals. We also
provide advice on our enforcement
procedures,
conservation
and other planning issues.
However, please note that planning can be complex and we can
only give simplified general explanations via this website.
We cannot tell you if an application will be successful as
decisions are only made after a planning application has been
submitted,
validated
and formally considered.
To find out if you need permission download our
Planning enquiry form and send it to us with a metric-scale
drawing of your plans and their position in relation to your
property.
Therefore, you are strongly advised to contact
Development Control on 01275 888 811
about any specific proposals.
To submit a planning application please use the national
Planning Portal website, where you can find the application
forms and a wealth of additional guidance. Alternatively you can
also download and print a
planning
form which can be submitted via the postal system. For further
information about the fees involved please visit our
Fees page.
We have prepared some advice about signing the appropriate
certificate under Article 7.
The Government has introduced new fees for the
discharge
of planning conditions which started on 6 April 2008. We are
introducing the charges with effect from the 1 June
2008. |
