Work to maps, forms and planning applications
We're doing some work to online maps, forms and the planning system tomorrow (Tuesday 21 May). This means you won't be able to access them for the day. This does not affect council tax or rent payments.

You'll need to pay a non-refundable fee of £199.65 to apply and a further £290.40 if the licence is granted. You'll also be responsible for paying any vets fees.
