Searching for applications

You can search for applications in a number of ways, using:

  • Simple Search - Search on reference number, post code or single line of address. When entering the reference number, do not use the DA prefix, i.e. use '02/99999/FUL' and not 'DA/08/99999/FUL'.
  • Property Search - If you only have the address, then use this link and complete the details.
  • View Map - You can navigate to individual properties on a map using this 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.
  • Advanced Search - You can also search for applications by application type, status, date received etc.

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.

General:

  • Public Access is not presently available between the hours of 3am and 6am weekdays.
  • You will require Adobe acrobat viewer installed in order to view documents associated with applications.
