Paying for Planning Applications

Paying for Planning Applications

Do not use the links below if you have been asked by the planning portal to make a payment for an application you are preparing on the portal site. The links below should only be used if you are sending your submission by post or email OR if the team handling your submission have asked for a supplementary payment.

To find which authority to contact, check Who deals with my planning enquiry/application?

To find out how much you need to pay, see our How Much Does It Cost? page.

Ways to Pay

Note that we no longer accept cheques as payment.

To make sure your payment is correctly identified and linked to your submission please use the planning reference number (which starts with SDNP/ for existing applications, or ‘pp’ for new applications) OR you can use the first line of the address of the application.

  • To pay by telephone
    • To make a telephone payment please call 01730 814810 and ask for the Planning Technical Support Team. Please make your call handler aware if your application is within Chichester, East Hampshire, Lewes and Eastbourne or Winchester.

Important Notice

Please use your Planning Portal (PP), SDNPA reference number (if received) or the 1st line of the address to reference your payment.

This will ensure payments are linked to the correct application.

Failure to properly reference your payment may result in the payment not being identified as relating to planning, and this could delay validating your case.
