Making a Planning Application (and forms)
The planning department is not open to visitors due to the fact that staff are continuing to work from home and there is restricted access to the Council Offices. All applications, documents, comments on applications and compliance complaints must be submitted electronically. Planning applications need to be made on the planning portal www.planningportal.co.uk, CIL forms need to be emailed to CIL@arun.gov.uk , comments on applications need to be made on the online by searching for the application and entering a comment https://www.arun.gov.uk/weekly-lists and compliance forms must be made on the online form https://www.arun.gov.uk/planning-compliance.
Please note that if you are making an application for a site that lies within The South Downs National Park you will need to make your application directly to them.
Arun District Council supports online applications made using the Planning Portal. Unfortunately we cannot accept applications via email. You can also use the online applications service to produce a site location plan to accompany your application. If you make a Planning Portal application the fee must be paid to the Planning Portal. Payments for these applications cannot be made directly to the Council as the Portal will only release the electronic applications once they have received the fee. Go to the online submission registration page to set yourself up on the Planning Portal and begin the application process.
Please view our Online Planning Guide which contains useful information on the planning process. If you experience any problems whilst using the Planning Portal please contact the Portal Helpdesk on 0303 444 8800.
