Find planning applications across Derbyshire
Choose from 27 local area guides or find the responsible authority's official register. This county grouping helps navigation; it is not one planning jurisdiction and does not imply complete county-wide records.
Official authority guide
Which planning authority covers Derbyshire?
Derbyshire is not one planning register. Eight district and borough councils handle other planning applications. Derby City and the Peak District National Park handle all applications within their own areas. The county council handles minerals, waste and its own development outside those areas.[2][3]
This is an authority directory, not a complete county-wide application feed. A nearby-radius result can cross a council or National Park boundary.

Local planning area guides in Derbyshire
Pages explain whether their records follow a mapped authority or a nearby radius. Town centres and council boundaries are not interchangeable.
Recently tracked activity from mapped sources
Only 0 explicitly mapped authority codes contribute to this panel. Dates describe records first tracked, not all council submissions. A failed or empty source does not establish no activity.
Postcode alerts in Derbyshire
Choose your own postcode to monitor a radius around it, not the whole county. Source coverage and delivery choices are shown during setup.
Set up a planning alert
From Derbyshire: choose a postcode and radius. This alert covers available records near that postcode, not the whole named locality or council area. Source coverage and check times vary; notifications are not a guarantee of instant delivery.
Planning applications in Derbyshire: questions
How do I find planning applications in Derbyshire?
Choose a locality below or search using a postcode. The responsible planning authority can differ from a postal county or town name; the official council finder can help identify it.
Does this page cover every authority in Derbyshire?
No complete county-wide coverage is implied. The activity panel uses only explicitly mapped authority codes, and source availability varies. Official register guides remain useful when tracked records are unavailable.
Can I get planning alerts in Derbyshire?
Create an account and choose a postcode, radius and delivery frequency. Alerts depend on available source records and your account allowance; they are not a substitute for checking official consultation deadlines.
How do I comment on a planning application in Derbyshire?
Comments are handled by the responsible planning authority. Check its official record for the public consultation deadline and eligibility. An undecided status alone does not mean comments are open.
