Apply for planning permission or vary/discharge/compliance of S106

Apply for planning permission

Before you apply, please check if you have completed the following steps:

  1. Checked if you need planning permission for the work you want to do? View the Planning Portal's advice on whether you need to apply for planning permission.
  2. Found out what you need to supply with an application? View Telford & Wrekin Council's Planning information page on what documentation is needed to support your planning application.
  3. Understood how much it will cost? View Telford and Wrekin's planning application fees page to see how much your planning application will cost.

The easiest and quickest way to apply is online through the Planning Portal. You can complete the form, attach your documents and pay (or allocate for someone else to pay), all in the same application process.

Visit Planning Portal website to apply for planning permission

Alternatively if you cannot submit your application online, you can download and print a paper form from the Planning Portal. If you submit your application by post, this will incur an administration fee of £75 and there may be a delay in receiving your application. 

If you send us any documents or plans by email we only accept Adobe PDF, JPEG, Word or Excel file types (any plans must be PDF only) with a maximum file size of 10MB each.
