Some users are currently experiencing problems accessing our Public Access (planning, building control and licensing applications) and Citizen Portal (school admissions and early year providers) systems. We are working to fix this as soon as possible.

Due to essential maintenance some of our online account services will be unavailable on Wednesday 20 November from 5pm to 10pm.

Get help from a planning agent

If you are looking to make a householder planning application you may want to consider getting help from an accredited planning agent.

About accredited agents

Accredited agents are planning agents who have shown that they understand how to make high quality applications. They will meet our code of practice when making householder applications.

Why it helps

Using an accredited agent, and having a properly prepared application, means there should not be any delays when we register your application.

This helps to streamline the process, but it does not guarantee planning permission will be granted.

Accredited agents list

We add agents to the list when they are approved.

You will need to contact them directly. We are not responsible for any arrangements you make with your agent.
