The Planning Portal is intended to be the first point of call for anyone who wants to find out about the planning system in England and Wales.

The Planning Portal offers the latest national planning news, access to regulations and guidance notes for applications and appeals procedure.

Below are links directly into the Planning Portal which provide information supplemental to that found on our website.

• Planning Portal Home Page – The Planning Portal offers a wide range of services and guidance on the planning system. This is the main entry page into the portal. From here you can check if you need planning permission for a development, find out more about planning appeals, and read the latest planning news.
• Guide to the Planning System – The Guide section offers a brief introduction to the planning system and some explanation of what planning is for and why it is important to us all. It explains why planning controls are necessary and how decisions are made.
• Policy and Research – The Policy & Research section of the Portal is aimed at planning professionals and those with an in-depth interest in planning policy and reform.
