Once you have submitted your application online and we have received payment, you will receive an email receipt. This will contain both your unique payment reference number and your unique Planning Portal application reference number. Your application reference number should be quoted in all correspondence with your local authority regarding your application.

Once the authority has received your application it will validate it within its normal workflow processes and time scales.

See our guide to the planning application process for more information1.

Please note that the email does not constitute the formal acceptance of your electronic submission by your local planning authority.

If the local authority needs more information or has any queries it will contact you directly.
