Public Access for planning is a new online internet service that allows you to view details of planning applications received by Leeds City Council since 1st April 1974. The planning application details contained within this site are updated on a continuous basis.
See the Public Access site
Public Access allows you to:-
- Monitor the progress of planning applications.
- Submit comments about an application being considered.
- View details of planning appeals.
- View details of historical planning applications.
- View property details by reference to a map.
Weekly lists of new applications received and decisions made.
For the present the list of new applications and decisions will be provided by a separate list in pdf format available from the downloads on the right of this screen.
Limitations
General
The service continues to be developed, but at the present time no constraint information or associated documents, plans and decision notices are available online. Associated documentation for new applications will become available on an incremental basis from the end of the year.
Histories
The on-line planning history contained within the site should be complete for applications submitted after 1st January 2000. If you need information prior to this date, it is available by viewing the property on the map and using the identify tool. However anyone wishing to use this information for a property transaction are advised to carry out a local land charges search through the Council’s Land Charges Section. No responsibility will be taken for any errors or omissions in the planning history information obtained from “Public Access”. Similarly, the information contained with “Public Access” does not constitute in any way a formal notification of a planning decision, and as such any actions taken as a result of information displayed on the site are undertaken entirely at the viewer’s own risk.
Leeds City Council reserve the right to remove or not display certain planning application information for confidentiality or other reasons.
Property search
At present the system does not allow searches to be carried out using multiple or block addresses such as 1-3 High Street. Each address has to be searched individually. If you have difficulty in finding your street, try using different spellings or varying the amount of words eg Abbey Dale Grove, Abbeydale Grove.
If after trying this the street is still missing, please let us know by emailing property.gazetteer@leeds.gov.uk Once selected you can view the property on the map and use the identify tool to identify any related planning applications on this property. If you use the identify tool to highlight a number of properties, the relevant applications will be listed for you.

What information does Public Access contain?
Public Access contains planning and property information which can be searched. It contains the basic information about the application together with the agent details and key dates for the application. Most of the planning applications boundaries can be viewed on a map. You can also submit comments on applications which are still being considered by the Council.
New numbering system and search tip
Due to the implementation of a new computer system on 20th January 2006, all planning applications received after this date are numbered in a new format: P/06/00200/FU/NE (this consists of a “P” for Planning / the year/ a sequential 5-digit number / the application type / and the area team).
Please note – To search using a reference number do not include ‘P/
’
at the beginning of the number and the last set of letters at the end eg P/06/02604/FU/HW should be input as 06/02604/FU. Only this section of the number is displayed on screen.
If you would like further information about a current application or proposal, please contact us via the comments box. Alternatively, contact the Development Enquiry Centre on 0113 222 4409 or email to planning@leeds.gov.uk
