Apply on line - it is possible to submit applications electronically using the Portal, completing the forms on-line and then attaching the drawings. It is also possible to produce, and pay for, a site location plan on-line from the Ordnance Survey. The facility also allows you to pay for the application fee with a card payment, although you can also pay by sending a cheque direct to the Council if this is more convenient. Please follow the link.

The Council has had to limit the formats of documents which are acceptable. These are:

  • Image Files: .jpg, .tif, .pdf

No individual file can be bigger than 10MB and the maximum size for all attachments within an individual application is 20MB.
