  • view related plans and documents, including officer's report and decision notices
  • make comments on an application
  • search for applications near you
  • search a weekly list of applications and decisions
  • see if appeals have been lodged, and any decisions made
  • see property details, including maps
  • search enforcement cases

Using Public Access

To help you use our online system, we've produced a public access user guide. This can be found at the bottom of the page.

Sometimes, the documents attached to an application can be too large, and take time, to download. If you can't access a document you need, please email borough.planning@west-norfolk.gov.uk and include the planning application number in your email.

The planning history on our online facility is incomplete. Please don't use this as a substitute for a formal Land Charges Search. Boundaries shown on the Ordnance Survey mapping, and implied through planning applications, don't necessarily relate to land ownership. We don't hold records of private land. All queries relating to land ownership should be directed to HM Land Registry.

We can't take responsibility for any errors or omissions in the planning history online. The information is not a formal notification of a planning decision. If you take any action based on the use of our system, you do so at your own risk.
