Every authority’s record, A to Z →
Authorities are listed as the Inspectorate files them: an authority abolished since 2019 keeps its own record, marked with the council that took its area on, so there are more records here than councils today.
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Decisions are those published by the Planning Inspectorate for England, with personal data redacted at source; linked cases and decisions without a published letter may be missing. This search is for research. It is not an exhaustive record and not advice; verify against the Inspectorate’s own record before relying on a decision. What is in the record states exactly what we hold, refreshed with the data. You can also look decisions up from inside Claude or ChatGPT: add the free connector.
