Planning applications - full planning permission
Full planning application forms should be completed for
applications such as the carrying out of works or operations or the
erection of buildings. This applies to commercial and industrial
developments, to the erection of new dwellings or the
sub-division of dwellings into flats and applications for change of
use.
The Planning Portal also offers a wide range of services and
guidance on the planning system.
