What is PublicAccess?

You can now view plans and other relevant documentation for all planning applications received from December 2007 (where available) and all Decision Notices issued from that date. Associated documents will normally be available within 5 working days of validation of the planning application, and Decision Notices within 2 working days of being issued subject to resources and workload. You will not be able print the Decision Notices as they are legal documents and carry a fee of £20.00.
Copies of Decision Notices are available from the above address.
