Planning history searches
If you are unable to find what you are looking for using the searches above, or require a planning history search, you can contact us with the details and we will do a search for you. Your request to us must include a plan that clearly identifies the property or site. This can be a screenshot taken from a map, it doesn’t need to be an official document.
Depending on the type of information or search you are asking for, there may be a fee of £100 (includes VAT) per site. Requests can be sent by email to dataandperformance@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk. We aim to respond to requests within 10 working days of payment.
Map of planning applications
DorsetExplorer allows you to locate planning applications on a map. Use the address search, or the map drag and zoom controls to find the area you are interested in.
