Making an Application

Increase in planning application fees came into force on 17th January 2018

The Government has increased the planning fees by 20%. The new fees came into effect on 17th January 2018. This also introduced a fee for works that need planning permission by reason of an Article 4 Direction or the withdrawal of permitted development rights by planning condition.

It is often easier and quicker to apply via the Planning Portal. It will provide guidance along the way and help you use the correct form. Alternatively you can download a form below. You may also want to look at the relevant check list (below), to ensure you provide all the information required.
