Make a planning application
The National Standard ‘1APP’ Forms are the only legal way of
submitting a planning application within England.
The Planning Portal
Carlisle City Council works in partnership with the
Planning Portal to provide an online application service. We prefer
electronic submission of planning applications.
You can apply for planning permission through the Planning Portal (external
link) which will also let you:
- Create a site location plan (compulsory for all
applications)
- Attach supporting documents (such as plans or photographs)
- Pay the application fee online.

Buy a plan
Every planning application needs a site location plan and block
plan showing the location and boundaries of the site you are
planning to work on. The most common reason for planning
applications being rejected is that the accompanying plans are
invalid. You can use the Planning Portal Buy a Plan (external
link) service to ensure that you meet our requirements.
Paper copies of site location plans can also be obtained
from
