Is planning permission required and how do I make a planning application?

Somerset Council is the Local Planning Authority. Whilst the Town Council is happy to give advice you should always check with Somerset Council if planning permission is required. For more information, visit their planning page.

Planning applications should be submitted directly to Somerset Council either in hard copy of via the Planning Portal.

For information on what should be included, the fees and to download copies of the application forms and guidance notes, visit the Apply for Planing Permission page.
