Planning

Welcome to planning and building control at Bolton council

These pages will give you all the information you need to make an application for planning permission or building regulations.

We offer an advice service on your proposals before you submit your planning application. This will make submitting your proposal easier. We will:

  • review your proposal
  • give you a detailed response
  • advise if you are likely to receive planning permission or not
