How do I get planning permission?

To apply for planning permission, you must fill in the appropriate planning application forms and send them to the Director of Planning at the Council offices, together with plans of your development and the appropriate fee. You are encouraged to apply online using the Planning Portal website (This link will open in a new window).

You do not have to be the owner of the land to apply. You can be a prospective purchaser or tenant with less than seven years standing, but you must provide a certificate that any owner, if not yourself, has been told of your intention to seek planning permission.
