Planning applications and comments update

Throughout February, our team is managing a high volume of planning applications and finalising the implementation of a new software system. We appreciate your patience during this busy period.

These changes do not affect how you submit planning applications.

Applications ending in /PA

Applications submitted before 4pm on Friday 28 November had a reference number ending in /PA but these endings are changing

These applications have been moved to our new platform as below and this website updated.

As the ending of the case is being changed, please only use the numbers in your search, for example 24/09999 rather than 24/09999/PA

Applications that end in anything other than /PA

Any application submitted after 5pm on Friday 28 November will have a reference number that does not end in /PA.

These applications will appear on our new platform, where you will also be able to submit comments, along with viewing weekly notifications of validated or approved applications.
