Making a Planning Application

We are able to accept your planning application online, if you wish to submit your planning application online through the Planning Portal, you will need to register your details. The Planning Portal offers a wide range of services and guidance on the planning system. You will be redirected to this site where appropriate.

• Make an application online (External website**)
• Alternatively, you can download application forms or contact Customer Services on 0845 129 77 77 or 01298 28400 who will send you out an application pack.
• If you want to work out the cost of your planning application, you can use the Fee calculator (External website**).
• If you need to calculate the volume of the proposed building, then use the Volume calculator (External website**).

We aim to register a planning application within two working days of receipt of a correctly submitted application. If the application is incomplete or invalid we will inform you of the reasons within five working days. If your application falls outside the scope of legislation, we will return it within 15 working days.

Pre Application advice

We welcome pre-application discussions so that we can give you an opinion as to whether you are likely to get approval for your proposals. We can also let you know of any information you may need to provide or inform you of any other special requirements.

We normally have an officer available to provide general planning advice by telephone or in person, with an appointment at Municipal Buildings, Glossop between the hours of 9.00am to 4.30pm Monday to Friday.

• Guidelines on pre-application consultations for planning proposals (1.3MB)

How are decisions made

We have a duty to consult a variety of people about the application so that their views can be taken into account when the application is formally considered. These include the parish or town council, owners and occupiers of neighbouring properties, and other appropriate bodies such as the Highway Authority or the Environment Agency. Applications which are either clearly in accordance with the development or planning policies are determined by Council Officers. Major applications and those that are contentious or finely balanced may be decided by the elected Councillors at the Development Control Committee.

When we process your application we take into consideration the area constraints that may affect the development and the determination process. For more information relating to constraints that may affect your proposal go to:

• Conservation Areas and Listed Buildings
• Trees
• Contaminated Land
• Flood Risk – external link to the Environment Agency website (External website**)
• Adopted Local Plan policies

You can also view our interactive key proposal map relating to our Adopted High Peak Plan through the Planning Portal:
