To improve customer services, we have enabled a measuring tool to the drawings attached to planning applications. This will enable you to work out the precise measurements of drawings on proposed developments. This facility is only available on drawings posted on the website since 28 November 2008. You will need the free Adobe Reader 9 to use this facility. Please click the following link for further information and instructions on measuring & scaling.

Searching hints: The application number is made up of four distinct parts as follows: P 08 D 0123 The first letter indicates the type of application: P = Planning Application A = Advertisement. The next two characters are the year the application was made: 08 = 2008 - a common cause of failed searches is to put the letter 'O' rather than zero The next letter indicates the Ward in which the application lies D for example is Cathedral Ward - Follow this link for a full list The last four characters are a sequential number. Again don't put capital 'O' instead of a zero
