Application search, view and comment

Can I view planning applications?

The planning register shows planning applications made since February 2004. It includes any appeals and tree works applications. You can also comment on current applications using the planning register. We always recommend that you make comments online.

• Email written comments to planning.enquiries@iow.gov.uk 
• If you wish to post written comments, send them to: Planning Office, Seaclose Offices, Fairlee Road, Newport, Isle of Wight, PO30 2QS.
  

If you would like to comment on a current application, read our guidance on making effective comments.

Historic planning

Some historic planning permissions and information are not available digitally due to their age. You can use the historic reference planning map to find reference numbers for planning applications between 1947 and 2004.
