How do I view progress of an application?

Once you submit your application it will be considered by the local planning authority. The Planning Portal does not have access to the application once it is submitted.

You will need to contact your local planning authority to check on the progress of an application. Many authorities allow you track the progress of applications on their websites.

Your local authority’s contact details and website address can be found by using our local authority search.

Please note: Planning Portal is an online application service based in Bristol. We are not part of any council and cannot provide planning advice or an update on the progress of a decision on your application. If you require this information, or local planning information, please contact your local council’s planning department. Please contact your local planning authority for this information.
