The Planning Permission Process

Application Submitted
Our planning application is submitted via the planning portal to the local council.
Council Receives Application
The council receives the application and assesses the documentation provided. The council will either request additional documentation to support our planning application or validate the application with the documents received to date.
Council Validates The Application Week 0 – 3
Once the council has received the necessary drawings and supporting documentation, the application is registered as valid on their website. The council will send an acknowledgement letter or email to confirm. This acknowledgement is available to view on their website The council will also inform the neighbouring properties of the application in the form of a letter or a site notice that is posted in the area.
The Consultation Period Week 3 – 6
Your application and all its supporting documents will appear on the planning register section of the council's website. The neighbouring properties and affected parties have 21 days to log any comments they may have on the about the application.
Site Visit Week 5 – 6
Depending on how large and complex your proposal is, the LPA might send an officer to have a look at your site. Alternately, they will ask for photos.
Application Assessed Week 6 -8
The planning officer assigned to your application will now assess the proposal. At this stage we will reach out to the planning officer to ask if any revisions are required for the design to give the application a better chance to receiving approval. The planning officer is often willing to discuss small revisions that might be required however they are not under any obligation to discuss the application.
Planning Approval!
