Making a Planning Application

The best way to submit planning applications is online. You can apply for planning permission online using the national Planning Portal, which provides a range of planning tools and services at the link here Planning Portal, or through any other online planning application service that meets national planning submission standards. Applications can also be sent directly to us via email at planning@fylde.gov.uk.

Whilst the council can provide guidance to help you submit your planning application, you may wish to employ your own planning agent to submit an application on your behalf. Details of professionals who maybe able to help you submit your application are available here.

If you are unsure if planning is required, please visit Do I need Planning Permission?
