The Planning Portal is an online resource for planning information and services set up to help anyone who wants to know more about the planning process in England and Wales.
The main sections of the Planning Portal are as follows:
The Guide section (this page opens in a new window) provides a brief introduction to the planning system and some explanation of why planning controls are important and necessary. It includes general guidance about the kinds of work for which you need to apply for
planning permission and those for which you do not. It is intended for both householders and business people.
In the Apply Section (this page opens in a new window) you can create electronic applications for us and submit them online. To use this service you will need to register with the Planning Portal and create a username and password. You can also use the Portal’s online applications service to purchase a site location plan to accompany your application.
The Appeals section (this page opens in a new window) provides information and guidance on the appeals process. If you seek permission to carry out works to your property and your application isn't decided within a set period, or you get a decision from your local council that you disagree with, you have a right to appeal.
The Study section (this page opens in a new window) is designed to help people to teach or learn about town and country planning. It is a useful resource for teachers and students of Planning and those considering or pursuing a career in town and country planning.
The Research section (this page opens in a new window) of the portal is aimed at planning professionals and those with an in-depth interest in planning policy and reform. You can obtain information on many issues including the Government’s Planning Reform Programme, Parliamentary answers and statements on planning matters and you can view copies of Planning Policy.
