Apply for planning permission

The easiest way to apply for planning permission is online via the Planning Applications Wales Service.

The Online service automatically helps determine which type of planning consent is required, thus reducing the risk of an application being submitted on the incorrect form and increasing the chances of a valid application being submitted first time. This benefits both the applicant and the Authority's staff who process the application, ultimately resulting in a faster decision.

Application forms

Printable planning application forms and guidance notes are available on the Welsh Government website.

Lawful Development Certificate

If a planning application is submitted for a proposal and it is identified as being permitted development, the applicant will be asked to complete a Certificate of Lawful Development application form, submit the reduced alternative fee (the original fee will be returned to them) and the application will be determined as a Certificate of Lawful Development. The developer will then have the benefit of a legal determination as to the planning status of the development. This will provide them with legal security in the future, such as when they come to sell the property.
