Please submit planning applications online at The Planning Portal https://www.planningportal.co.uk/apply

If your development affects land where the owners of the land are known, you'll need to serve an Article 13 Notice 1 on the owners or agricultural tenants
If your development affects land where some or all of the owners of the land are not known, you'll need to publish an Article 13 Notice 2 in a local newspaper
This list contains the minimum requirements for a planning application to be accepted as valid, but we may need to request further information during the life of the application to enable it to be decided.
