How we deal with planning applications

We will check applications to make sure all details are correct and that the necessary documents are included. A checklist of the details required for each application type is available on the Planning Portal. An acknowledgement will be sent to the applicant or their agent. At this stage the consultation and publicity period will start and we will appoint a Planning Officer to manage the application.

We will place application details and plans on our planning system as part of the statutory register of applications, as required by the Town and Country Planning Act, the Town and Country Planning (Tree Preservation) (England) Regulations and the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) Order. The application will also be included on the weekly list of applications published on our website.
