Planning Application Apply Online


We accept planning applications on line using the Planning Portal -

Planning Portal - The complete online planning and building resource

The Planning Portal is:

  • a resource for the guidance and information on making planning applications.
  • a major resource for study and research of planning related matters.

On line application submission allows you to fill in shortened, simplified application forms and certificates, attach drawings and send your application to the Council over the Internet.

Payment of the fees is currently not available on line. Please send a cheque to the address below.

If you have not used this service before, you may find it useful to see an - on line tutorial which takes you through the processes involved.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

If you are not attaching your plans electronically to the application, we require four (4) paper copies of all plans and drawings to be submitted to the Council, at the address below, and any payments required within 5 working days of the online submission.

These must be clearly marked with the reference number assigned by the Planning Portal to the on line application. Hard copy drawings should be sent to:
