Applications register

Online register of planning applications for minerals, waste and our own development

Surrey County Council deals with applications for minerals or waste-related developments, and for developments to its own property, such as schools and libraries. Only these applications will be on our online register. For all other planning applications please refer to your local borough or district council.

If you have an enquiry about minerals and waste planning, please contact us at mwcd@surreycc.gov.uk or call 020 8541 9897.

Copyright Terms and Conditions of Use

Plans, drawings and other material submitted to the council are protected by the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (section 47). You may only use material which is downloaded and/or printed for consultation purposes, to compare current planning applications with previous schemes and to check whether developments have been completed in accordance with approved plans. Further copies must not be made without the prior permission of the copyright owner.

Ordnance Survey maps, and maps created from Ordnance Survey material are subject to Crown copyright. You may view or download this for private and non-commercial purposes only. Such mapping may not be further sub-licensed, sold, demonstrated, lent, or otherwise transferred or exploited without the prior written permission of Ordnance Survey.

Data protection

Planning is a statutory function and planning-related information is held on the lawful basis of public task (in accordance with the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, as amended, related orders and regulations).

When you make a comment on a planning application (known as a representation), your name, address and contact details will be saved in our files, electronic and paper. We do this so we can notify you of amendments to the proposal, the outcome of the application, if an appeal is lodged against the application, and subsequent applications in respect of the site.

In the event of an appeal or a 'call-in' by the Secretary of State, represntations will be sent to the Planning Inspectorate or the National Planning Casework Unit.

Representations on applications valid prior to 1 October 2024 will be sent to the relevant district/borough council, as has been long-standing practice. They may publish them on the planning register, but there is no legal obligation so to do. For applications valid after 1 October 2024 (and for some prior applications at our discretion) representations will be published on our online planning register in an anonymised form. Please note, however, that the original representations are still available for public inspection.

Representations may also be anonymously quoted within an officer's report, but usually the report contains broad aggregated themes from all the representations received.

The contents of representations are kept at least four years after the application has been determined. They may be retained longer in certain circumstances, such as when an application goes to appeal. Details of who made representations is part of the permanent record.
