Planning Search

Please use the form below to search through our records for any current and determined planning applications and appeals paying close attention to the information required for each field - you do not need to complete every field to return results.

The information on the database is updated every day but there may be a delay of up to seven working days after receipt of an application for accompanying documents to be viewed on our website.

You can also view the entire planning history of individual properties using the Planning Archive Search. This contains information from 1948-present. However, to view the actual documents associated with a planning application prior to 2000 you will need to manually review our microfiche records at the Town Hall. The machines operate on a first come first served basis.

Please note that we no longer accept objections or comments by fax. Additionally from 17th October, letters received by post or email will no longer be acknowledged, and notification of the decision will not be issued.

However, if an application is to be presented at a Planning Committee, objectors and supporters will be notified.

Address search tips: To search for a specific property put the property number or name in the address keyword field and select the street name from the list. Leave the address keyword field blank to search a whole road and/or postcode.


Search tip: Case year is the middle two numbers on the case reference number. For example, the 05 in PP/05/02431.

Search tip: Case number is the last five digits in the reference number. For example, the 02431 in PP/05/02431.

Search tip: Search for specific keywords in the proposal text. For example 'extension'.

Decision date search tips: Search decisions by the date they were made using year and/or month. Leave blank to search for all decisions.

Appeal search tip: Search for a specific planning appeal by reference number. Please enter the last seven digits of the formal reference number. For example, the 1234567 in A/10/1234567 or A/10/1234567/NWF.
