Processing times for planning applications are currently running with a 5/7 working day delay before we can start validating new applications. To focus resources on validation, we will not be responding to any requests for progress updates until we have had the application for 7 working days. We’re doing our best to process applications as fast as possible, and we appreciate your patience.
How do I report possible unauthorised development to an historic building?
If you believe works have been undertaken without the necessary consents, you can report this to the Planning Enforcement team. Please see the Planning Enforcement webpage for more information. Complaints are usually only accepted in writing on a specific complaint form, unless the complaint relates to an urgent matter. Where the fabric of a listed building is at immediate risk, please call (01273) 292222 and ask for the Planning Enforcement Team. It helps if you submit as much information as possible, including photographs. Details of complainants will remain confidential.
