What do I need to submit a planning application?

It might surprise you how straightforward it is to submit a planning application. We do the hard work and once you’ve got your drawings, just fill out a simple online form and you’re done!

How do I apply?

The simplest way to submit a planning application is to use the governmental online planning portal which can be found here.

You will be asked a series of simple questions to establish the type of application you require and which authority your application will be reviewed by.

Simply fill out an application form, pay your fee and upload your documents.

There’s a simplified process known as a ‘householder application’ which covers the majority of extensions and alteration applications made by our clients.

What you'll need:

You'll need the following documents along with a completed application form and planning fee. The planning portal have a handy fee calculator which can be found here.

• Location plan

• Site plan

• Existing plans and elevations of your property

• Proposed plans and elevations of your property

We can help you with all the above, we turn drawings around in just 14 days (if you’re in a rush we can expedite this to as little as 48 hours for an additional fee). Click here to get an instant quote today!
