Planning services

Please note: We currently have several vacancies and staff absences through illness, and our service is experiencing delays. We will deal with your application or enquiry as soon as we can.

This section offers information and advice about planning applications and planning policy, local authority searches which are required when buying or selling your house and building regulations (Building Control team).

Do you want to make changes to your home?
Use this interactive guide to find out whether your proposal needs planning permission, and/or a building regulation approval.
If you still have questions, please use our Contact Us form.

You can find out if your home is in a Conservation Area by using our Map of Conservation Areas in Exeter.
