There are many different types of planning applications that you can apply for. The application you will need depends on the type of development you want to do and which permitted development rights exist.
Not all works require planning permission, so finding this out early could save you a lot of work. We offer a paid service to find out if planning permission is required. For more details on the service, fees, and how to apply see planning services we offer.
What are the different types of planning applications?
Your planning application will fall into one of two categories:
Applications for planning permission/planning consent - where you are asking permission to build something.
Application for notification - where you are notifying us of a development that you would like to do (we can still refuse this).
the different types of applications you can submit to the Council
the application suffixes for the different types of application
whether planning conditions can be imposed on the decision
decision outcomes for the application (see below for abbreviations)
