Search planning applications
Planning system changes
We are upgrading our system between Friday 11 September and Friday 25 September, and some services will be unavailable whilst we complete the work.
Deadlines will be extended accordingly.
Applications can be submitted through the Planning Portal, but they will not be processed during this period.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Following our transition to digital systems, we no longer hold microfiche records. All records are now maintained and accessible online.
Planning Explorer
You can search planning applications on the Planning Explorer.
Alternative ways to find a planning application
You can:
- Use the Planning Explorer to search for planning applications submitted after 2000 (see our Planning Explorer help page)
- View the Planning Archive for planning applications submitted prior to 2000
Search by address
Use this search if you know the address of the property and don't have a council reference number.
