Planning

The Peak District National Park Authority is the statutory Planning Authority for the National Park area. Other related matters such as Building Control or Environmental Health are the responsibility of the relevant District Councils.  

The details of current and decided planning applications are available to view online at portal.peakdistrict.gov.uk.

Searches can be carried out by applicant name, site address, or by using the application reference number. Details of planning appeals since 2012 are also available via this search tool.

You can view the weekly list of planning applications received by the Authority.

Please see below how our work with groups like Platform helps to contribute to planning and development in the Peak District National Park...

Pre-application advice service

Our pre application advice service resumed on the 4 March 2024. However, we are still unable to accept requests for advice on householder extensions and alterations unless the house is a listed building.

We will continue to accept enquiries seeking advice as to the need for planning permission and listed building consent, which is a free service.
