Submit an application

You are able to submit an online application to us, both allowing you to complete the application form, attach supporting documents and pay fees online, saving you the cost of printing and postage.

You can submit both planning AND building regulation applications. There is no charge for building regulation applications through the Planning Portal, this only applies to planning.

Submit an application via the Planning Portal »

You can submit an application yourself, or, depending on the nature of the application, choose a professional agent to submit it for you.

Application fees

The easiest way to find the fee for an application is to use our online fee calculator.

Minerals applications

At present, planning applications for minerals development can't be made via the Planning Portal. Applications therefore need to be submitted directly to us, electronically to planning.validation@shropshire.gov.uk
