Planning Portal Home Page The Planning Portal offers a wide range of services and guidance on the planning system. This is the main entry page into the portal. From here you check if you need to apply for planning permission for a development, find jobs in planning in the Careers zone, find out more about planning appeals, and read the latest planning news.

Guide to the Planning System The Guide section offers a brief introduction to the planning system and some explanation of what planning is for and why it is important to us all. This section of the Planning Portal is intended for both householders and business people. It explains why planning controls are necessary and how decisions are made.

On-line planning application An alternative route to submitting your planning application to us electronically, rather than using the forms on this site and e-mailing them to us. In this area you can: create a planning application and send it electronically to the Authority along with any attachments, or complete the forms on your computer then print and send them by post as part of a traditional paper application.

Appeals If you seek permission to carry out works to your property and your application is not decided within a set period, or you get a decision from the Authority that you disagree with, you have a right to appeal. This section will provide guidance on how to make an appeal, and also searchable list of appeals currently submitted with associated documentation attached online.

Policy and Research The Policy & Research section of the Portal is aimed at planning professionals and those with an in-depth interest in planning policy and reform.
