Please Note: We do not accept emailed applications

The quickest and easiest way to make your planning application is make and submit your planning application online using the Planning Portal

There are additional links below to assist you:

This will include those non-material amendments and householder conditions and will also mean that a number of applications where discounts and exemptions apply – such as for disabilities or charities – will all become exempt from the service charge.

A service charge of £70.83 +VAT will apply to all planning applications submitted through our online application system that attract a fee of over £100. This is payable at the time of submission. 

You can also nominate a third party to pay for applications online by card, this change has been much requested and will improve the efficiency greatly for agents and applicants.

Submitted applications that require a fee will not be passed to East Devon District Council, until the fee is paid.
