Tips for using the online search

Searching

To view current applications use 'View, comment on or appeal a planning application'.
Entries can be typed in either lower case or upper case.
To display the entire list of applications, leave all fields empty and just click on the search button.
Remember the system will take a little while to return all of the results.
If you know the reference number of the application it is recommended you fill in the reference number field only, as completing a number of different fields can cause the search to fail.
Once you have found the application click on the green reference number to view it.

Commenting

You can still comment after the 21 day consultation period by contacting us using the details on this page; however there is no guarantee this will be taken into account.
Always quote the application number in any correspondence.
Please be advised that any details submitted as a response to an application may be displayed on our website.
