Hard Copy Applications
While we encourage our customers to use the online application system, we continue to accept hard copy planning applications.
Validation Checklist
We are currently drafting a validation checklist which will ensure you are fully aware of what information is required to accompany a planning application in order to be considered valid and to ensure the efficient and timely processing of the application. This will be published soon.
Fees and payment
Planning fees are set by the Department for Infrastructure. They have also published accompanying explanatory notes for the fees.
Planning Fees Increase from 31 May 2024.
The Department for Infrastructure, in line with The Planning (Fees) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2024 will introduce a one year inflationary fee uplift of approximately 4%. This will be across all fee categories and will come into operation on the 31st May 2024.
Our online application forms will reflect this fee uplift for all submissions made from 31st May 2024. If an online application is commenced and progressed past the fee calculation stage pre-31st May 2024 but saved and submitted on or after 31st May then the additional fee will be requested as part of the validation process.
Methods of payment
If you are submitting your planning application online there is an integrated fee calculator which will calculate your planning fee based on the information you provide on the planning application form. Online submission will require the fee to be paid either by Credit Card or Debit Card.
Please note that the fee calculated is based on the information provided on the form. It will then be verified by planning staff at validation stage.
If you are unable to make an online payment please contact Planning Business Support at: planning@midulstercouncil.org to discuss alternative payment options.
If you are submitting your planning application in hard copy form, the fee must be paid either by cheque (made payable to Mid Ulster District Council), BACS or cash.
