Getting a Copy of Planning Documents
This service allows members of the public or businesses to take copies of certain planning documents.

In some cases members of the public may have had planning permission or moved into a property which has previously had planning permission and need a copy of the decision notice. The council can supply a copy of decision notices if the detail is not available via our planning application search pages.

Some other documents may also be requested such as copies of the plans or site location maps within an application. If the application is live and no decision has been made then copies of these documents can be made, there may be an administrative charge for multiple copies. If the decision has been made on an application then the copyright on plans comes into force and we would need written consent of the originator of the plans before we could copy these.

A live application file is considered to be in the public domain so most documents contained within the file are available for copying.

A decided application is not considered to be in the public domain so more rules apply before copies of documents can be made.
