How do I know what is happening with my planning application?
The Council is required by law to keep a planning register. This is in two parts :
Part 1 contains copies of each of the applications, together with submitted plans awaiting final determination.
Part 2 of the register contains details of each of the determined applications, giving the decision. The register is available for public inspection at the Planning Department at the Customer First Centre during normal office hours.
To view and search a complete list of planning applications,
please use this link to our Planning Applications Search facility.
Occupiers and owners of property in the immediate vicinity of an application site and considered by us to be affected by the proposal are notified and invited to comment within 21 days.
Certain planning applications received by the Council require more intensive publicity and are advertised in the Blackpool Gazette under the public notices section. A notice on site may also be displayed to inform the public.
These proposals include:
- Departures from the Blackpool Borough Local Plan,
- Conservation Areas - proposals which materially affect the character of a conservation area,
- Listed Buildings - applications for alteration or demolition are given added publicity,
- Major development proposals.
