Search and comment on planning applications
Online planning register
You can look at planning applications received by the council using our online planning register. This service allows you to:
- see the details of individual planning applications
- see what planning decisions we have made
- submit comments on an application (if it’s within a consultation period)
- track the progress of applications, save searches and get email notifications (when you register)
- search for current or historic applications relating to a property (from 2000).
Please be patient when searching for planning applications, as our system deals with simultaneous requests. If the system is slow to respond or you see error messages, please try again after 20 minutes.
If you wish to comment on a planning application and are unable to do so using the system, please email development.control@towerhamlets.gov.uk.
