The planning application process

A step-by-step guide to what happens when you make a planning application.
Planning fees

From Wednesday, December 6, statutory planning fees will be increased.

See a step-by-step guide to what happens when you make a planning application.

We aim to approve planning applications within eight weeks for minor applications and within 13 weeks for major applications.

You can make a planning appeal if your planning application has been refused planning permission, you did not receive a decision within the time-frame, or your application was approved and you are not happy with the planning conditions.

You can get advice from our Duty Planner or from the pre-application advice service.
