Search for Planning Applications

To search for planning application information and to comment or consult on recent applications CLICK HERE.

The data:
You can view details of planning applications from 1974 on, scanned decision notices from 1999, and plans and accompanying documents for applications registered from 1st August 2005.

Application Quick Search:
Searching by Application Number  you don't need to put in the full reference.
- For the new style reference,  use YY/nnnn   e.g.  09/1234   (A new reference has been applied to all applications.)
- For the old style reference,  use YYYYnnnn     e.g.  20051234  but note this will only find application records registered up to the 28th October 2009.

Search by Address:
This works best with a partial address like  'High Street, Holt'.    A  Postcode search will not always bring up all applications for that postcode, as some applications were made without postcode information.

Use the More Search Options at the bottom of the page if you want to search on a combination of Parish, Location  or date range.

Results: 
Consultation expiry date is 21 days after the latest of the Site Notice Date and Press date. While an application is in consultation period you can make a comment using the online form.

Decision Level
Members - Decision will be made by the relevant Development Control Committee.
Delegated - Decision will be made by a Planning Officer.

Consultation - Summary of Responses
For applications received before the 29th October 2009 the summary of responses numbers will usually be zero, even though you can see the names of interested parties who have responded.  (We could not extract this information from our old system).
