Check if I need planning permission
The Planning Portal is not owned by Greater Cambridge Shared Planning Service, but was created by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government and is used by every local authority in England and Wales. You can use it to submit planning applications, as well as seeing information related to planning and the planning process.
If you require a formal determination about the need for planning permission for the proposed development, you will need to apply for a Lawful Development Certificate. For more information, please see the Cambridge City webpage or the South Cambridgeshire District Council webpage.
For further guidance please use our planning permission checklist.
