Householder Application

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

If your development affects land owned by someone else, you'll need to serve an Article 13 Notice for Householder applications on the landowner telling them that you are making the application
This list contains the minimum requirements for a householder 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.
