Ways to find details of a planning application

There are a number of ways to find a planning application. These are outlined below.

Remember we do not consider planning applications for developments within the Lake District National Park boundary. You will need to go to the Lake District National Park Authority for these.

Search our register of planning applications online. 

The register includes all applications that have been decided as well as those currently being considered.

When searching you do not need to fill in all the search fields. It is best to use the application reference number if you have it.

Cumberland Council

On 1 April 2023 local government in Cumbria will change, with Cumberland Council providing all your council services.  

On day one, most things won't change - your bins will be emptied as normal, and you'll still be able to speak to the same team about any enquiries to do with things like council tax, benefits, planning or any other service.

Keep up to date by finding and following the new council on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. Sign-up to receive updates straight to your email inbox.
