Do I need Planning Permission?
The Council needs certain information to answer your question. Please contact us on tel: 01329 236100 or by e-mail: devcontrol@fareham.gov.uk outlining your plans and we will advise you if you need to make application under the Building Regulations or for planning permission.
How much will my planning application cost?

.
How long does it take to make a decision on my planning application?
Most planning applications are dealt with in less than eight weeks. You may make an appeal to Government (this is an external hyperlink) if we have not sent you the decision within that time.
Can I view planning applications?
You can view appeal information and documents via the online planning page.
Monday to Friday between 8.45am and 5.15pm (4.45pm on Friday). Please allow for a little time to answer your questions if you are making a late
visit.
Who made this complaint about me? Will you tell my neighbour I complained about them?
Complaints regarding unauthorised development work are dealt with by the Enforcement Team and are treated as confidential. Only in the event of Court action would we ask complainants to give evidence publicly.
Why do I need planning permission when many people have built similar things without encountering problems?
Planning permission may not be needed in every case. Some kinds of development, carefully defined, are granted general permission by the Government so the Council does not have to consider them. If your development falls outside that category you will need to apply for planning permission.
For further information please contact the Department of Planning Development Control on tel: 01329 236100 or contact us by e-mail: devcontrol@fareham.gov.uk.
