The majority of application numbers are in the format 11/xx/nnnn where xx is the year the application was received and nnnn is the individual application number.
If searching for an application involving a mobile telephone mast or an agricultural application, the number may be in a slightly different format with PR or TEL substituted for the 11.
For applications prior to January 2011 where the application number is unknown, you can search for PDF copies of paper maps by following this link to downloadable copies of our historic planning application maps.
