Environment

We welcome the submission of planning applications online through the Planning Portal.

Make an online planning application

The Planning Portal will take you through the online submission process from selecting the appropriate forms and attaching documents to formally submitting the application and paying the application fee.

To make sure your electronic application is correctly presented please refer to our Guide to Submitting Electronic Files with Planning Applications.

You will have to register with the Planning Portal, but this will allow you to save and return to applications in progress.

You can buy maps from the planning portal to support your application using the Planning Portal's - Buy a Plan

Pre application advice

Please read our pre application advice section before submitting a formal planning application. For major developments, a separate pre application for major developments section may be useful.
