Frequently asked questions
How do I find planning applications near me?
Click the 'Find applications near me' button to use your device's location, or enter your postcode manually. We'll show you every planning application within 1km of your location, with options to expand the search radius.
Can I object to a planning application near me?
Yes. Once you find an application, click through to view its details and find a link to the council's consultation page. Most councils accept objections during the consultation period, typically 21 days from the application being publicised. Your objection must relate to valid planning considerations such as impact on privacy, traffic, or character of the area.
How do I get notified about new planning applications?
Set up free planning alerts for your postcode, town or council: just your email address, no password. We send one email a day when new applications are published there. You can also watch individual applications to track status changes.
What types of planning applications are there?
The main types include full planning applications (for new builds and major works), householder applications (for extensions and alterations), listed building consent, change of use applications, and lawful development certificates. Our search results let you filter by type to find what's relevant to you.
How close does a planning application need to be to affect me?
There's no fixed distance - it depends on the scale and nature of the development. A large housing estate 500m away could affect your traffic and views, while a small extension next door might have little impact. We recommend searching within 1km to start, then adjusting based on what you find.
