Please be aware that the council is currently undergoing a migration of its IT systems to a new provider. This is having a significant impact on the validation, registration and determination of planning applications. Lines of communication with the planning team are also affected and the recommended contact is via email at: planninginfo@easthants.gov.uk. We are working to address this issue and hope to resolve the situation as soon as possible. 

Planning application process

EHDC has put together a list of requirements when submitting a planning application. These are essential to support all planning application types and help the council to determine their validity.

Local planning application requirements

The council's policy on the information which must be provided in support of all planning application types - for the council to determine their validity - can be found on this page.

Appeal a planning decision

Appeals against planning decisions are decided by the Planning Inspectorate, a government agency. Find out more here.
