These searches let you view details and the progress of planning applications. In the future it will also be possible to view some documents related to applications, including drawings. These related documents are available for viewing at the area planning offices.
As yet you can't submit an application online but this is planned as part of a national planning portal and may become available early in 2009. Until then you can still download planning application forms.
If you have any comments on the search after using it or if you didn't find what you were looking for, please fill in the search application survey
