Current Planning Applications

Please note the Public Access system for viewing Planning and Licensing applications will be unavailable on Saturday 1 June and Sunday 2 June due to maintenance. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. 


If you cannot find the answer you are looking for on our website, please could you email plservices@eastcambs.gov.uk.  We will then endeavour to respond within 5 working days. Please allow this time to lapse before making contact again. 

In line with our Neighbour Notifications and Consultations Guidance Leaflet (PDF), the Planning Officer will not respond to neighbour responses but will ensure that any material planning concerns raised are addressed in the Officer’s Report.


You can view details of all registered planning applications on the Council's Public Access System. This system allows you to: 

  • View details about planning and tree work applications being considered by the Council
  • Monitor the progress of live applications
  • Submit comments/objections on live applications
  • View decision notices & officer reports for determined applications
  • View screening and scoping opinion requests (information only)

You can see what applications have been registered each week by viewing the Weekly List via Public Access (external link), alternatively you can request to be added to our mailing list by emailing plservices@eastcambs.gov.uk

In order to view details of any application you will need to search using either the application number or the address.

You can also register to be notified of applications within an area of your choice. More information on how to do this and how to use the public access system is available on our Public Access User Guide (PDF)
