Purbeck District Council - Planning application forms

On this page you will find the Application forms to use when applying for planning permission, along with guidelines for completing the forms and the requirements for submission, plus notices for informing other people or organisations that have a freehold or leasehold interest in the application site.

There are no longer separate forms for applying for permission. For example, with the old forms you would have sent in one set of application forms for planning permission and one set for listed building consent. These are now all on one form. Please read the forms on this page, to find the correct one that you require. If you have any problems deciding which forms you need or have any other questions, please contact Rob Roriston, Senior Administrative Officer, on 01929 557278, or email robroriston@purbeck-dc.gov.uk

How many copies of the documentation does Purbeck District Council need?

Please note that Purbeck District Council will require the submission of the following number of copies of all the documentation for an application:

Planning Permission and Listed Building Consent - Three copies
Planning Permission and Conservation Area Consent - Three copies
All other Applications - Two copies

Pre-submission help

Members of the Development Management Technical Support Team can provide help and guidance to you before you submit your planning application. This can take the form of help with filling out an application form, advice as to what documents and plans you will need to submit or a pre-submission check on a complete application to ensure it meets our validation criteria. This does not apply to applications submitted via the Planning Portal or enquiries as to what form to use for a planning application. There is a charge for this service that applies to each visit for guidance, as follows:

Householder Applications - £30.60 (£25.50 + VAT)

All other Applications - £61.20 (£51 + VAT)

For further details, contact Rob Roriston, Senior Administrative Officer, on 01929 557278, or email planning@purbeck-dc.gov.uk

Certificate of ownership

Certificates of ownership are now included in the new forms. If your application includes the agricultural certificate, please make sure you fill in the details on this section as well.

Design and access statement

Some planning applications and all listed building applications when submitted to the local planning authority, must be accompanied by a design and access statement. In the absence of a satisfactory statement, the application will not be valid and registration will be delay until a statement has been submitted.

For domestic alterations that are in a Conservation Area or the World Heritage Site (Jurassic Coast), a design and access statement will be required, but one is not required if the property is only in the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Local requirements and guidance

Please read the specified 'local requirements' and 'guidance' documents that can be viewed to the right of the Application Forms in the Tables below.

Unilateral Planning Obligation

If your application involves the development of new residential dwellings, offices, industrial buildings or an increase in office or industrial floorspace, an unilateral planning obligation will be required. Please see A guide to submitting a unilateral planning obligation in Purbeck for further details.
