Planning applications residential

The Planning Portal offers a wide range of services and guidance on the planning system.

The rules that say when you need to apply for planning permission will differ according to whether you own a house or a flat/maisonette.

Parliament has given the main responsibility for planning to the Local Planning Authorities (LPAs). If you do have any queries about a particular case, the first thing to do is to contact us using the details on the right, or write to us at:
