  • Enter a street address, or Post Code with or without a name/number, and use the Search button. A list of addresses will appear;
  • On the form displayed, choose an address, double-click on the required address and the address will be highlighted. A map will then be drawn including that address. If there has been a planning application, the address will be outlined by a green line;
  • Click the ‘i’ icon towards the top left of the map screen;
  • Left click on the required part of the map and this will display the records for that area. Basic information about the latest application is then displayed on screen – you may need to scroll across the Description (Descrip) line to see everything. You can download the information as a spreadsheet by clicking on the download button at the top right of the information panel.

Once you have all the planning application numbers from the file, you can then search by application number  or address, but make sure that you have selected the Received any time button on the left side of the search page. You may need to scroll down to find the button.
