Planning permission applications and process

Apply online for planning permission 

All planning applications should be submitted via The Planning Portal website. Applications submitted directly will only be accepted in exceptional circumstances at the discretion of the Local Planning Authority. Submitting via the Planning Portal is the fastest way to ensure your payment is correctly taken and received by the Local Planning Authority and minimise any delays to the validation of your application.

Apply by email 

As outlined above, any application submitted directly to the Local Planning Authority (via Planning.Application@newham.gov.uk) will only be accepted in exceptional circumstances and will incur an administration fee of £60.

If you are unable to submit your application online, application forms are available to download as PDF documents on the Planning Portal website.
