- You can submit your comments by email about individual applications

NB: Once a decision has been issued, only the decision notice, officer's report and approved plans will be available to view.
How to search
As search information must match exactly what has been entered by us to bring up a result, it is often best just to search on the application code or if you haven't got the application code then a key part of the address can be added to the site location box (ie 34 Temple Street, search on Temple Street) together with the parish. NB pressing Ctrl F5 will refresh the page and ensure you are viewing the latest version of the page.
Tip: Downloading application documents
Links to any application documents which can be downloaded may appear on the page several seconds after the rest of the application information appears. This is because they have to be retrieved from the database.
Commenting on a planning application
To comment on a planning application currently being processed please email planning@yorkshiredales.org.uk, quoting the application number and the development's location. The Authority is obliged to make any correspondence received about an application available for inspection by the public. NB: A fastrack appeal process has been introduced for householder and minor commercial permissions which means if the applicant appeals the decision you will not get another opportunity to comment.
