Applying for planning permission

You can apply for planning permission online using the Planning Portal. This allows you to complete the application form, pay the fee and attach required documentation, although it does incur an admin charge. The Planning Portal has provided video guidance on youtube of the procedure.

We also accept applications submitted directly to us, if required. Printable forms can be downloaded from the Planning Portal.

If you cannot find the form you require, you would like assistance with completing it, or to check you have all the required documentation, please contact planning@yorkshiredales.org.uk or 01969 652345.

Most applications require you to complete a validation questionnaire. It is recommended that you do this first, so that you know what information is needed to accompany your application.

Around half of all planning applications we receive are incomplete and invalid when they are first sent in. Our validation questionnaire is designed to assist you with the process.
