From 6 April 2008, the Standard Planning Application Form (|1APP) will replace all existing types of planning application forms (except minerals) within England, and will become the only legal way of submitting a planning application. Elmbridge Borough Council will implement 1APP from 26 February 2008.
Application Fees increased on the 6 April 2008, the |scale of fees can be viewed here.
We encourage you to submit your application online to help speed up the process, however you will still be able to submit your application on paper if you wish. Downloadable PDF versions of the paper forms can be accessed below.
Submit an application, drawings and pay the fee online through the |Planning Portal.
The Planning Portal (a UK Government website) contains information on the planning system, from making a planning application to appealing against a decision. General guidance on the online process can also be found on their 'Make an Application', 'Can you apply online' and 'Frequently Asked Questions' pages.
To ensure the smooth processing of your online application, it is recommended that you attach all drawings as PDF (Portable Document Format) files. Photographs can be JPEG file format. Please note no individual file should be larger than 5Mb. Please ensure that all drawings include the print (paper) size; the relevant scale at that print size (e.g. 1:100 etc); a scale bar showing the length of 1 and 10 metres and key dimensions. Preferable drawing sizes are A3 or A4.
Please make sure you have checked the corresponding |validation checklist before submitting your application. If you do not send all the required information we need, your application will be deemed invalid.
Please note the application form, plans and details will be displayed on the Council's website.
Alternatively, you can make an application by selecting the relevant |downloadable forms from a list of application types. These forms are available as PDF documents to print off and to complete in writing before sending by post to Town Planning Division, Civic Centre, High Street, Esher, Surrey KT10 9SD.
