We are currently experiencing delays in processing new valid applications received between 1 May 2026 and 8 June 2026, due to unexpected staff shortages. This may result in delays in acknowledging your application, and we may need to request extensions of time while we process your application. We are actively working to address this backlog as quickly as possible and appreciate your patience. We apologise for any inconvenience.
Planning history advice
You can use our Planning Permission Enquiry form if you want to find out:
the authorised use of land or a building
the previous applications and consents related to the land or building
whether your property has permitted development rights
We will provide written advice in response to your enquiry. A planning officer will respond within 20 working days of receiving your application. (Working days excludes weekends and bank holidays.)
We also offer heritage advice as an extra add-on.
The fee for written advice is £90.
All fees are valid until 31 March 2027.
