Details of historic applications and copying requests

Historic applications

You can view the details of planning applications and appeals from 1 January 1990 by searching on PublicAccess (external link).

 

A guide is available to read on how to use Public Access (Adobe PDF format, 3616kb).

 

If you require details of applications before 1990 or a full planning history for a property it would be advisable to submit a Site History Enquiry or a Local Land Search.

 

Planning history charges

The fee is payable in advance and can be paid by cheque, credit or debit card or BACS.  Further information is available from the Planning Support Team. Once we have received the request we will contact you to advise of charges and arrange payment.

  • Research and compilation of planning records, responding to questions and provision of related information: £30.00 per hour (or part thereof) plus vat, for each site location.
  • Requests for further information after initial response to the above: £30.00 per hour  (or part thereof) plus vat, for each site location.

Copying requests

You can view and download plans and documents (subject to copyright) relating to applications received since 1 January 2000. There are, however, a number of applications received between 2000 and 2004 where the documents have not been published.

 

To view unpublished documents or request copies of plans and documents (subject to copyright) email plan.apps@westlancs.gov.uk
