Public Access for planning
Public Access reads information from our planning database, which is updated daily. For this reason a search for applications or decisions may return different results on different days. Please read the information below before using Public Access, particularly with regard to copyright.
Public Access allows you to:
- Find out details of a planning application or appeal and to comment on current applications. (If you want to complain about a building already underway that may have breached planning regulations go to our Planning Enforcement pages)
- View the documents associated with an application from 1996 onwards. (This includes the Decision Notice which lists any conditions associated with a decided application.)
- See details of many historic planning applications; the earliest records available date from the 1870s although these early records may be incomplete or missing.
- View the Weekly List of applications received and decided.
- View property information by reference to a map.
- Investigate planning constraint information currently available. This information will be enhanced over time but some information may not currently be displayed.
Searching for applications
You can search for applications in 3 ways:
- If you have the application reference number, use the Application Search link. When entering the reference number, do not use the DA prefix, i.e. use '02/99999/FUL' and not 'DA/08/99999/FUL'.
- If you only have the address, then use the Property Search link and complete the details.
- You can navigate to individual properties on a map using the View Map link. Use the zoom and pan buttons and once you have found the property you want, use the identify button to show information relating to that property.
Using the Application Search link you can also search for applications by application type, status, date received etc.
