Making an online planning application

The Planning Portal allows registered users to create and submit applications online. Online submission of applications helps to facilitate a quicker and more responsive planning application service.

You can register with the Planning Portal by clicking on the ‘Log in’ button in the top right of any page on the site. When doing so you agree to our terms and conditions of use.

The service is provided so that, in most cases, all parts of an application can be completed and submitted electronically – including payment, which can be made by various methods.
