Planning fees

We've created an interactive online form that gives detailed guidance on whether you will need planning permission for a wide range of projects - from a rear extension through to a loft conversion.

It also gives guidance on what you need to think about if you want to carry out works to a property in a conservation area, an area with an Article 4 Direction or a listed building. 

Please note the online form is provided for guidance only and does not provide legal advice or a formal planning decision by the council. If in doubt, we recommend you submit a planning enquiry or seek independent professional advice.

If you can't find the answer you are looking for, or would like our team to look at your plans and give more detailed advice, we can help. 

If you have a general enquiry (not related to specific plans), why not submit a planning enquiry which costs £90 (including vat) and our team will get back to you within three working days.

If you want our team to look at your plans and give advice on whether or not they are likely to get planning permission, why not submit a pre-application which start at just £63 for householders.
