You may need planning permission if you're thinking about extending or altering your home.

Our webpages take you through the process, from finding out if you need planning permission, getting pre-application advice, and preparing your documents before you apply.

If you want to comment on works that someone else is planning, or check if they've breached regulations you can look up planning applications that have been submitted to us.
